Broncos

Rob and I have been trying for years to get to the Bronco Stadium to see the Smurf Turf! When it has been in, he wasn't with me and I wasn't able to get anything more than just a corner peak through a fence. Or the field has been torn up for turf replacement.  Well, today we got our chance!

We went to the campus and asked a student how to get to the field.  He told us to go through the Hall of Fame and we can see it through the glass.  Once we got into the Hall of Fame, we realized that the doors were open and we were able to go outside to see the field.  From outside we were able to go up into the stands.  Rowan, Nadine and I climbed up the lower level of the stands. Rob stayed at the bottom.  It was a good thing he did. 

The distance runners were out practicing for track. The distance track coach came over to Rob and opened the gate. He told him to get the kids down on the field to get their picture taken with the Bronco at centerfield!!! You didn't have to tell them twice! They were running out of the stands to the field! They must have ran the distance of the field at least three times. 

The coach was from Toledo, he went to Whitmer. We found this out when we went to thank him and he asked where we were from.  It's a small world! The kids had such a ball and it was amazing to see the field from that perspective!
Now if only we could get the Buckeyes to let us on the field!

I am fast becoming a Bronco's fan but BGSU is still the center of my heart for football

The buckeyes will let you on the field. They run tours of the stadium all the time and you go down on the field.
