During the week of July 5-9, 2011, Cary and I were privileged to attend "The Opening", watching quarterback grandson Tyler Matthews (#43 the first day, and #15 on game days) play with 150 of the best high school football players in the United States. The event was held at Nike World Headquarters in Beaverton, Oregon. I hope that you enjoy the pictures ... some are better photos than others, but I tried to capture as many kids as I could.
There are approximately 500 photos in these slide shows. They are of the players, the fans, our family and everybody/everything that caught my eye. They are in chronological order. No names are on the pictures, even if I do know who people were.
As time permits, I will also be writing blog posts about my experience as a spectator. Since I still have a lot to learn about football and this is not a sports blog, I'll write some human interest stories as seen through my eyes. That said, Tyler Matthews, YOU ROCK!!!!

Looks like a beautiful place. Thanks for the tour. Have a great day.
The sculpture of Tiger Woods seems alive!
SHADOW, WILL YOU?
Shadow, will you always be
Here where I can always see
What you do and how you play?
Or will you just slip away?

You know I love anything that has to do with football. I know Nike has probably helped a lot of schools, but I'm not too crazy about some of the uniform changes I've seen for VT. The games become a blur, but I think last year's opener was when they wore a uniform for one time only - ugly. Your team uniforms look much better than ours did. I love that they're on display. Pretty cool.
Tiger Woods Center? I've not even known it existed. Thanks for the informative share. Love the water garden as you near the entry.
Off the Pier...shadows is my link, if you'd care to view.
Have a great day.
Wow, I would love to roam around there Kathy, beautiful shots!
I have a Creepy shadow, wanna see it? Please come when you get a chance.
The building is sure beautiful as is the water feature. Nike has some great designs for uniforms. And I love the name Horned Frogs...That rocks!
Wow, talk about busy! I love the pictures.
