Boise State Blue Turf - #ThroughGlass for the first time?

Bronco Stadium on September 13 2013 focused on Stueckle Sky Center - West Side of Stadium
Last night, the Boise State Broncos hosted the Air Force Academy Falcons in an unusual Friday evening game. The site was Bronco Stadium, home to the "blue turf" field which has become nationally famous along with BSU's rise to college football prominence over the previous decade. And I was lucky enough to have sought-after game tickets!

Though of the "nosebleed" variety - located high above the stadium's south end zone - our seats proved to be an excellent vantage point for viewing, #throughglass, the field as well as most of the stadium, as well as the beautiful city of Boise and its surrounding foothills. In addition, the unsettled weather of late included an ever-changing view of swirling clouds which put on a show from late afternoon until dusk.

Having Glass in the Stadium was a kick for capturing images and a few short videos (see example posted on YouTube), and I also used "Sound Search" to identify some of the music blasting from the stadium's recently upgraded sound system. Overall it was a great experience (after a close game in the first half, BSU pulled away to win, 42-20), and having Glass along was fun. And I'm just wondering if I am the first #GlassExplorer to record our famous team, stadium, and most of all, our beloved "Smurf Turf"?

As game began the clouds became more threatening leading to a half-time rain storm
