They brought him up on the jumbotron, and he was in the middle of saying something (love you, miss you, etc). She, of course, was trying not to cry. The the video feed started shorting out. The announcer came back on to say that they were experiencing technical difficulties. Then, the sections by the tunnel started cheering, causing everyone to look over. Everyone started cheering when they saw it was him running out of the tunnel. His kids saw him and ran toward him. They showed his wife, who was crying. I started crying just watching it all unfold. Getting teary eyed now just thinking about it. It was really awesome.
