We'd always wanted to see a live game in the US and Mike and MJ must've read our minds! The Warriors are University of Hawaii's football team and have a huge following. College sports here have a bigger following than any sport back home and the way the games are presented are incredible. Cheerleaders, a 200 piece marching band, mascots, gymnasts...you name it they got it.
They got a pretty good team at the moment too so it was cool to see them give Colorado a whooping....and Colt Brennan, you couldn't give a star quarter-back a better sounding name either.
The stadium they playing in is a very interesting one as well. The more square-eyed people would notice that this was the stadium featured in Lost where Desmond and Jack meet. During some hours wasted on Google Earth, I noticed that the stadium looked like a baseball stadium in the aerial photos, whereas I looked totally different when we saw the football. What the?!?!?! Then I discovered the answer. The stands MOVE! Until recently they could float the stands on a thin cushion of air and move them into different configurations. One for baseball and one for football. They only recently locked it into the football configuration because the machine kept breaking.
