If you haven't heard of the above two teams, it's probably because you're on the wrong continent

It was my first time at an English "football" game (study abroad student). Their quarterback didn't seem to be meshing well with their running back, but other than that, had a great time.

Great use of the 'cheap seats'. My question is how was the kicking game?

Haha thanks guys. The seats were actually pretty good (since the stadium wasn't very big). If you check the blog you can see from the [utterly terrible] video that we were actually pretty close. The video was taken at 70mm on full frame, just to give you some perspective.

The shot is actually a 5 shot pano at 24mm, so yeah, we were decently close to the turf.

The game itself was actually pretty bad the first half! Haha. Or rather, "rubbish" as the folks here say. The second half was a whole different game and much better. It was a great time though, definitely worth it.
