A lot of friends of the pod were at this game. Peter’s Dad and brother were sitting very close to Real Fan Dan and you could see them on the edge of the big screen when they would go up to him. Correspondent KFish was at the game too, but we were unable to catch up with him. Lastly, Chris Makres from the Patriots episodes (wearing 55) and his brother Pete were at the game, just a few sections over from us.
