So before I get into what was an ultimately engrossing, hard-fought game between two teams destined for the bottom or near-bottom of their respective divisions, I should probably talk a bit about the tailgating scene and arena atmosphere, because it was actually pretty solid. Not quite Kansas City solid, but there were pockets of Bears parties we walked through all the way to the stadium. It’s not as dedicated of a tailgating area, but tailgaters made it worth it. I don’t recall any particularly rough encounters with the fans, but, for it being a game between two 1-3 teams, nobody’s going to be too feisty.
