First American Football Game 首場美式橄欖球賽

I was lucky that I was introduced to a Taiwanese family, the Lin's family. Later, there would be a plenty of adventures and experiences that all had to thank the Lin family.

September is also happened to be the American Football Season, so Lin invited me and my roommate to watch our first American football game. It was so fun and I listed some things I learned today.

Tailgate Party

When I was asked if I would like to check out tailgate party, I was very confused and wondering if there is some sort of party held in the back of the gate because of the name tailgate. When I was there for the tailgate party, I soon learned that the tailgate is the back door of the car and people have party with games and some drinks before the football games start.

車尾門派對 (如圖這一邊是支持VT 隊伍) 

Jelly Shots

Jelly Shots (VT V.S. ECU)  好像在tailgate party中才有的名產(含酒精的果凍)？

Corn Hole

This is me playing corn hole, the game they may play at tailgate party. It's simply. You just have to throw the sand bags to the opposite board with a hole on it to score. 

(Corn hole是一種遊戲，把沙包丟進對面有洞的箱子裡就得分了。)

The game is ON!

You may notice that it's the purple team's court since it is mostly purple color around the court. It's East Carolina University's home court (purple color) and Virginia Tech (orange color) is the guest team. I did not know too much about American football but it was a fun experience to see the game and feel the spirit of American football.
