My Wife, two sons and I spent 3 weeks in the states and went to an NBA, NHL and this NFL game live for the first time (we live in New Zealand). It was a fantastic experience particularly for me as I have followed the NFL from New Zealand since the mid 70s.
From the pre-game trailer parkers right through the game to the train ride back to our hotel it was an awesome day. The people around us, Chargers and Riders fans, were friendly and welcoming which added to the feel good nature of the day.
The one negative was that there was nothing obvious in the material I viewed when booking that told us of the carry-in bag size restriction at Qualcomm stadium and a back pack we had was marginally over the size and we were refused entry if we wished to keep the bag. Fortunately the lady at guest services let us check it in with her and we were able to collect it on the way taking pity on us as visitors from overseas.

Favourite moment: Seeing all the fans in the car park and then walking through them as they enjoyed each others company, BBQs and friendly banter. @
