UM Game

This game wasn't a home game per se, but it was in our home stadium so I didn't think I would feel awkward at all. However, as we learned when we had to walk about three blocks from the buses to the stadium, all of the Canes fans overwhelmed us and I knew it would be a different game. On top of that, we weren't performing because of a not so convenient rule that the Hurricanes set only allowing 14 spirit group member total on the field from the visiting team. We decided to alternate years with our cheerleaders. We will be performing at the next UM game. During the game, just sitting there made me a bit antsy and sweaty. This game was during the day as opposed to the night when FIU normally plays home games. The Dazzlers kept rooting for the football players every second that we could. We also cheered for our band. In my opinion, their performance during the halftime show far exceed that of the UM band as well as the color guard. I even made new friends from the color guard! It was a great game. I loved it! After it was over, the Dazzlers and the color guard were escorted out of the stadium by police to ensure our safety. Even though I had a great time at this game, I couldn't wait to be dancing on that field again.
