If you're attending tomorrow's game you would be wise to be in your seat early, before the national anthem. 'Nuff said.

Part of the pre-game show will involve the display of an American flag that stretches the entire length of the football field - a feat that will require the assistance of 250 military personnel and their families.
The flag will remain on the field during the singing of the national anthem by Malmstrom Air Force Base men's ensemble from Great Falls.
The flag is the same one used during last February's Super Bowl and also at this year's opening of Cowboys Stadium, when the Dallas Cowboys took on the New York Giants. The flag left on a truck from San Diego at 3 a.m. Wednesday in order to arrive in time for Saturday's Griz game.
At the completion of the national anthem, two Montana Air National Guard F-15 fighter jets will buzz the stadium at 1,000 feet traveling 400 mph, said Tech. Sgt. Andy English. The pilots, Lt. Col. Shane Sanders and Capt. Benjamin Orsua, both are Iraq combat veterans and native Montanans.
That, right there, is an amazing pregame.grizzaholic wrote:http://missoulian.com/news/local/articl ... 002e0.html
