Brian was given two tickets to the Real Soccer game tonight at the Rio Tinto Stadium in Sandy. A client is trying to get his business at his company, and wanted to wine and dine him to get him to buy their product. We decided to go and spend the evening together. The tickets were in the suite on the 4th floor. It started at 7 pm, but we left at 5 pm and stopped at Cafe Rio for dinner and then headed over to the stadium where we had reserved parking as well. It was kind of cool inside of the stadium and it was a little bit chilly too. We meet with some the of company people and then we just watched to game. What was really crazy is the clubs in the south end zone. They stand the whole game playing their drums and waving their flags and chanting and cheering on the team. They even let off some smoke bombs when they made the 4 goals. I think they are probably deaf after the games, becasue they seriously did not stop banging the drums the whole time. Apparently, they have a tailgate party a couple of hours before hand, then they have a persession march into the stadium and then the whole game. I guess this is pretty common for soccer games, especially in Europe, but this was a new experience for me. The game was two hours long and then we headed home. I told Brian that next time he shoudl bring Riley, because Riley loves that kind of stuff. We might go to a game this summer with the family, just to have some fun.
