PAC-12 Football Championship Game

In the preseason, I bought 2 tickets for the PAC-12 Football Championship Game at the new Levi Stadium, thinking tickets would be unattainable/costly if I waited. That was a gross miscalculation, the put it mildly. Aside from Oregon eating Arizona's lunch and the soaking rain, it was a good time.

My tickets were in section 410 at almost mid-field. It really is a beautiful stadium. And the ants running around on the field were very colorful.

Jordan Sparks sang the National Anthem. Very impressive.

30 minutes before game time, a Levi Stadium employee offered everyone in our section complimentary tickets to section 123. At least from here, we could see the action up close when Oregon was scoring on this end of the field and/or forcing Arizona to go 3-and-out all game long. If you didn't watch the game, it was all played on the Oregon side of the field, regardless of who had the ball.
And yes we were literally within ear shot of the Arizona Wildcats Marching Band - deafeningly so. They are no Stanford Marching Band, I assure you.
I don't know if you can see it very clearly, but all 12 mascots were at the game having a great time of it. Yes, even the Tree.
Surprise! Oregon wins!
Now we get to see if they can put together 2 more good games and bring home the NCAA Championship to the PAC-12.
