One of the best ways I think to see a football game is on the field – and this is what I was able to do this past weekend at the Army v. Boston College Football game.

It was our fall break at the University of Louisville, and I spent my time visiting Kristin and Scott up in Highland Falls.  But the question is – how did I get the chance to hangout on the sidelines?

Well, I made a bid on an auction item that allowed me to work with the radio show at West Point for the chance to hold their microphone on the field.  I had a chance to be interviewed on the radio show, go up in the pressbox, and see the game from the best seat of the hosue!  I have to thank Dad for encouraging me to do this since he had the chance to do the exact same thing when he was up visiting Kristin for her birthday a few weeks ago!

I have been up at West Point several times over the years visiting Kristin – it is a wonderful place and there is nothing like it.  The atmosphere is energetic and there is so much history, tradition, and commitment among all those who are at West Point.

Best seat in the house at the Army v. BC Game!

With this amazing opportunity to see a game at this level, I knew that I had to make sure to get both pictures and videos of this event to be able to give others an idea of what it is like to be at an Army football game.  I actually made two Ptchs – one is with some of my pictures before, during, and after the game and the other is just video clips I took on the field. I also made sure to use Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook to share my experiences through updates and photos as well.

Ready to watch some Army Football! Go Black Knights!

Overall, I had an amazing time in NY and experiencing my first Army game with Kristin and Scott – they were fabulous hosts!  I would also like to thank Tracy from the USMA Athletic Department who was really helpful in making sure I got on the field and helped me get around to the various places at the game. I would highly recommend looking at some of these auction items to see if you can try to get the same experience – this is one I will never forget and I was able to not only enjoy myself at the game, but I was able to capture some of the great memories and views I had to share with others.

Hope you all are having a great day!

Best Wishes,

Karen
