Sunday was a special day for me and my lad, he got to experience his first ever NFL game and I got to share it with him. We travelled down by train to Wembley Stadium, a first visit for both of us and we were amazed at the number people that were already there 3 hours before the gates even opened.
Walking from Wembley Stadium Station to Wembley Stadium
The crowd throngs down Wembley Way
Wembley was transformed for this NFL extravaganza
After wandering round for a while and consuming the obligatory “hot dogs and soda” we eventually made our way to and through the gates, what a site awaited us, Wembley had been transformed into Raymond James Stadium, all that was missing was the pirate ship.
Wembley's arch soars above the stadium
Tampa Bay battle flags we given to all fans adding to the atmosphere
The rest of the day was a blur of noise, fireworks, New England efficiency (unfortunately for us Bucs fans), good humour and best of all a beaming smile across the face of a very happy 9 year old (and his Dad)
At the end of the game we made our way with the throng back to Marylebone Station and finally back home.
