Haven’t been this excited for a Stamps season in a long time. I think the pandemic really made me appreciate ALL the sports teams and experiences we have in town. I loved the Stamps as a kid, then stopped caring for years. I’ve really come back around. As much as we need a new building for the team, I absolutely love McMahon. It just reminds me of a different era of sports and I enjoy the throwback feel. And yes, we need a new stadium yesterday. It was weird to not see Burns/Foothills stadium in the background.
Anyway, I went to the game last night. I underestimated the autograph lineup and arrived at 3:15 (autographs were from 3-4) and was the first person told “sorry, the line ends here”. So no autograph for my Flutie jersey. Kinda funny to be that close and not make it. At least that’s what I told myself, haha. Judging by the size of the lineup versus the size of the crowd, I feel like everyone there was in the autograph line. I agree with the above sentiment- the people who were there were really into the game and having fun. It’s exciting to see a more dynamic QB behind center. No need to get too high or low after game 1. It’ll take some time for things to click but I like what I saw, especially from the run game. Hopefully more wins will bring people back to the games. Nothing like a beautiful night of football at McMahon. Go Stamps!
