Dec 14, 2008 - NFL football game.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs Atlanta Falcons

Georgia Dome

The Georgia Dome in Atlanta, GA. The first time I've been in a
doomed stadium. Nice place, the temp was t-shirt nice the whole game.
Warmups

We got there early to experience the whole show! An hour and a half
before the game starts, the stands are still empty and the Falcons are
warming up.

more warmups

The other end of the field...

Staff meeting

Right after warmups, they have a staff meeting, before they head back
to the locker room.

Cheerleaders

The whole cheerleader corps do their thing...

Bucs

The Buccaneers get a no-frills entrance.

Falcons

The Falcons get the whole show!! Tunnel, flames, music, pom-pom girls.

Flames

More flames than a Monster Truck show!

Falcon Flag

The Falcons even get a waving flag!! I guess that's why they call it
a home field advantage.

National Anthem

The national anthem.

Coin toss

Anybody see where the coin went?

Telephoto lens check

Making sure the telephoto lens works on my camera.

Kickoff

The starting kickoff. Game on...

Cheer

Still works...

Falcons kick

The Falcons get a chance to kickoff after scoring.

Noisy

The Buccaneers used audibles a lot even with the noise in the Dome
being VERY loud when the defense was on the field.

3 Cheers

I'm like a bass, bright shinny flashy things catch my eye.

Going to Overtime

Scoreboard shows... we are going to overtime after regulation!

Falcons celebrate

About 5 minutes into overtime, the Falcons connect on a Jason Elam
field goal and win the game 13-10.
