Friday Night Ball Game

On Friday, we went to the final game of the season for the Samsung Lions. We had such a good time at the last game that we wanted to get in one more before the season was over. We assumed that it would be just like the last game, not too many people, lots of enthusiasm.Unfortunately, we were wrong and there ended up being way more people than fit in the stadium. It didn't help that we showed up late after trying to get a pizza. It turns out that we weren't the only ones who thought of getting a pizza before the game. The woman at the restaurant told us it would take an hour so we quickly nixed that idea and decided on some fast food. Unfortunately, the fast food wasn't so fast and we had to wait around 15 minutes for our food. All of this caused us to show up late to the game. Our friends were inside and one of them had to run out and hand us the tickets as we waited in a huge line. There were so many people in the stadium that we couldn't even find two seats together. The back wall of the stadium was covered in people who stood the entire game. We finally found some open space on the ground near the bottom of the stadium, along with a whole lot of other people. It's crazy to see there is virtually no policing of where people can and cannot sit. The game was pretty fun, although we ended up loosing by one at the end. I did get some nice Samsung apparel on our way out though. I guess because it was the end of the season they had everything half off. I got a jacket, and Abbi bought me a hat. 

And I got a jersey-like shirt for myself before the game! It was only $10! Despite the issues we had, we did come more prepared for this game than the last one. We went to Emart and got beer and snacks to bring into the stadium. Although the snacks at the stadium aren't grossly overpriced, like at home, they are still cheaper to buy at a grocery store first. It was a great game, and we were sitting next to some people who have been here for 6 months so far, and they helped us a bit with the cheering. It was kind of like a weird picnic sitting on the ground. I had a great time, again. We'll have to go to another game next season!
