Kayli found out that Real Salt Lake was coming to play DC United so of course we had to go. To make it even better, it was college night so tickets were half price. We put together pseudo die hard soccer fans that likely included as many football(american) fans as soccer fans. This made it more exciting, because it was Erik, Kurt, and Benson's first professional soccer game.
Upon arrival to the stadium we were stoked to find out our tickets were on the front row. Unfortunately we soon realized that the front row was not an ideal place to view the game. The picture below is one of the few times that the security guard in the yellow jacket wasn't standing directly in front of us like some sort of statue. You would have thought the guy was in the CIA not stadium security, but he provided some good entertainment during the lulls in the game. However, at half time we had grown tired of Mr. Stone Cold and decided to head up to the 20th row where we had a great view of the game. Real put on a better show in the second half after going down 4-0 in the first. All in all it was a ton of fun to get out of Richmond and go watch some soccer, which Kayli and I love. And we got to eat at Cafe Rio which makes going to DC even better.
Outcome: DC United 4 Real Salt Lake 1
