Raiders Footaball Game



Well, I have had various events since then but this time I’d like to write about NFL football game. Yesterday I saw it at McAfee coliseum in Oakland with friend and acquaintance. The acquaintance’s friend has had yearly ticket of Oakland Raiders and like football so much, so we decided to see raiders game together. As the method of going to Oakland from San Francisco, we used a train called Bart which is relatively cleaner than Muni. In the train, I saw some Raiders fun wearing black clothes which is raider’s team color. It took about 45 minutes to get to there. The weather was clear. There was almost no cloud in the sky. Sea gulls were flying above the coliseum. It was my first time to see pro football game in my life, so I was very excited. My seat was behind of the end zone which is a kind of goal for football. The game was Oakland Raiders versus Chicago Bears. Since both of teams were in last place which means almost same percentage of wins, I was looking forward to the victory of Raiders in the beginning. As Raiders player kicked the ball, the game started. Both of the team had good defense, so the game reached a deadlock in 1st quarter. As of the halfway, both of them got 3 points. There was a show during the half time rest. Marching band was playing with marching in the center of the field and cheer leaders were dancing in front of us. My attention was almost on cheer leaders because their dance was really cute and amazing. After starting 3rd quarter, Bears got two touchdowns. One is from very long pass, and the other is from raider’s mistake. Finally Raiders was defeated 19 to 3. We regretted the result but the day had had something sperical for us because we met after ling separation.
