Gustafson Stadium — Attraction in San Antonio

We had a volunteer day at the stadium and worked a food drive. The day started with the officer directing me to the right entrance as I stirred at the cones blocking my way; yep - 8t was noted in the instructions I didn't read because I "knew" how to get there.

The staff supporting the drive were passionate about the ministry. I never got the "helping the poor unfortunate" vibe - it was a person in need and I care about them. I learned that the SA Food bank serves so much more than San Antonio - I believe it's over 70 counties.

I enjoyed the place when I went to watch the Solar Cars Competition, but after they had us move to the opposite side, my friend had parked on one side of the stadium and I on the other. When it was time to leave, I had a tough time remembering where I had parked. We finally found it after we went around in circles. My Granddaughter said I should've taken a picture of where we parked. I had been so happy that I found a parking spot in the front; then to not be able to find the suv at the end was frustrating to...
