I guess the best term to describe it all was a “Girl’s Night Out”. It was something that won’t be forgotten anytime soon! It started off with the National Women’s Football Association championship. Our team was volunteering at the event and I got stuck on parking detail with 3 other ladies. At first we thought we had sort of been hosed, but turned out to be the best deal. We were pretty much relieved by the event staff about 15 mins prior to the game and able to watch the whole thing, from kick off to finish with out worrying about much. It was great to see everyone from the team again and the general attitude was that we were bored without everything going on.
The game itself turned into a blow out, with Detroit shutting out OKC 52-0. The first half was a pretty good game to watch as both defenses pretty much ruled the turf and dealt some punishing blows. By the second half though, Detroit pretty much clinched the game, and things turned simply ugly on the field. Lots of personal fouls going on both sides of the ball.
Afterwards everyone went to hang out at a local bar, and invited several of the other teams that had come down for the game to join us. Columbus, Pensacola, Pittsburgh and Indiana were several of the teams that made it over. Of course the bar in question turned out to be a gay bar. Most of the straight fans were a little put off by it and seem to leave shortly after arriving. Though we got to chitchat with a lot of the other teams’ players and got a good sense of how things were going around the league. Most of our team that showed ended up staying and closing the place down, so all in all we had a pretty good time!
Now that's the way to have a game, gay bar or not. Though they can be fun in their own rights. I could tell you some stories...
