I was able to sit and cheer and sing with other Spurs fans.  I had a great time, it would have been even better if I would have known all of the cheers and songs, but I was able to particpate in a few.  <\/p>\n<p>The funniest thing I noticed that you have to cheer togother to really feel it and for me that ment singing with a very English accent.  It wouldn&#8217;t be a big deal except when they sang &#8220;When the Spurs go Marching In&#8221; to, you gessed it, &#8220;When the Saints Go Marching In.&#8221;  It feels really weird to sing it with no g&#8217;s.  <\/p>\n<p>I sat with 5,000 Spurs fans out of 70,000 Man U fans and I&#8217;m pretty sure we out sang them.  I couldn&#8217;t imagine if the Vikings fans developend a set of songs it would turn the Dome from loud to DEAFENING.<\/p>\n<p>It would be easy to say that I&#8217;m hooked.  The best place to enjoy a game is in the stands.  Tomorrow Aston Villa and West Ham are playing in the afternoon, I&#8217;m going to try a pub or two to see what the atmosphere is like.  Then I&#8217;ll try to see if there is a place to watch American Football.  What I would like to see is some baseball tomorrow evening, espically the Twins and Tigers.  The season could be settled by the time I return on the 24th.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tonight I was able to get a ticket at Old Tratford, the home of Manchester United, in the vistors section.
