I went to the game last night with a buddy who had a spare ticket. I am not a soccer fan; I find it hard enough to watch World Cup.

I had a blast! First of all, watching live is so much better. You get to see the plays develop more, and get a real feel for the skill involved in making the ball curve the way it does. Also getting a feel for the football like strategy in field position.

I was in section 203 and there were a few British guys in the section that made a great atmosphere. (If possibly a little PG-13 rated.) Some chants and taunts- just a great time.

I also appreciated some of the little things. Mostly local beer (Big Rock) along with lids that don't make the beer foam up. (Take note Saddledome.) Simple but good food options, including the hot dog guy actually coming up to the stands.

tl;dr- if you aren't much of a soccer fan but get a chance to go- do it.
