We started the day with a boat trip from Waterloo down the Thames to the arena. Since it was such a beautiful day, this was a great alternative to taking the tube.
Once at the arena, we had a wide variety of restaurants to choose from for lunch. The kids saw TGIFriday's and instantly wanted a little taste of America. We had a little "England" moment when we tried to eat there and were told they wouldn't open for another 10 minutes. Not "Do you want to sit at one of these outdoor tables and look at a menu until we open?" Just a quick "We're not open til 12:00."
So we found another place to eat and then headed in for the game. It was so amazing and fast-paced. It was disappointing to see more empty seats. We had a fun day out!
