Great game, and not just because the Revvies won. It was the first time in a long time that they looked like the championship caliber team that I know they are. I think my favorite part of actually being at a game is that there is so much you don't see on TV. Team captain Steve Ra-Ra Ralston was back last night after being out several weeks with injury. I swear just his presence on the field brings up the level the team plays at, and that's not to mention his skill. I support the Revvies win or lose, but of course I like to see them win...especially when I'm there in person!
I thought after the first Revvies match we went to that maybe it would be a good place to meet someoone. I mean at the very least we would have being soccer fans in common. Last night I sat in front of a captivating guy. He was friendly, and chatty and asked lots of questions, he even had me laughing at times...
Unfortunately, he was about 30 years to young for me to date but I enjoyed his company just the same. On the way into the stadium they were handing out American flags for September 11th. At different intervals throughout the evening he would instruct when I should be waving my flag. His questions were endless...why, why, why??? But since I don't have to field them on a daily basis I was happy to oblige and did my best to provide answers. At one point he was demonstrating how strong he was by pushing himself up on the chair backs so that his little feet were maybe an inch off the ground. Then he had to show me he could do it standing backwards, at which point he informed me he was like a monkey which was only made complete with the sound effects, "hoo hoo hoo hoo". I thought I would fall out of my seat laughing.
I have a bunch of pics that I took. When I find enough ambition I'll put them on my flickr account to share. The stadium the Revs play at is the New England Patriots' stadium and it's huge. I took some pics to show a friend but as she said, you probably have to see it in person to appreciate it. I bet the attendance at the game last night filled a quarter or less of all the seats there. Actually that's one of the appeals of major league soccer, it's not that popular so you don't have to pay to park ($40 at Patriots' games) and hardly no traffic afterward. But let's keep it our secret, I don't want the word to get out and have it get popular!?!
