Buffalo something , Washington DC - Something else

Football Afternoon in Canada!

 The last time I went to a Pro Football game was some distant Christmas Eve - some late 70's early 80's fog - at the old Atlanta Fulton County for some cold ass Falcons game with my brother. The way way back memory is telling me it was some sort of important play off game.....
 My pal Mike , from Sacramento California is a RABID [rabid] Washington Redskins fan, he goes all over the country to see them. A few years ago, he was on his way up here to watch them in Buffalo, but got very ill and could not make it, so this time! THIS TIME, we are off to Canada to watch his Redskins play the local Buffalo Bills in Toronto. I am not 100% sure why the Buffalo Bills play a few games a year in Toronto. It is not very far , but it is a different country and all,  but LOTS of people were there.
 ( this is a Broadway Show! ....)
 Turns out that Mike's Washington Redskins really suck, and the Buffalo's beat the crap out of them, there in Toronto.... Mike had a very good time though, very into the game.... let's go with boisterous.
 This is a very steep stadium. I've been here a few times for Baseball games, but I must have sat down lower. You sort of had to hold on to go up and down.
We drove over early Sunday morning... a little breathless because Mike had left his passport in California. He had a friend fax him a copy of it , and that was good enough to get into Canada......" Come on in'eh". This is a window in the Rogers Centre looking toward down town...
