Colorado Rapids Game

This year for the 4th of July, Brent's mom and Bob invited us to watch a Rapids soccer game in Denver.  All of my soccer fans were especially excited, as it was the first Rapid's game we had ever been to.  We played the Seattle Sounders which was great because they had several of the USMNT (US Men's National Team) members playing on their team.

This is a picture before the game of both teams and it shows some of the stadium.  We ended up getting crushed 3-0, but it was super fun anyways.

The special draw on the July 4th game is that they invite everyone onto the field and then light off fireworks for everyone to watch.  During the short time after the game and before the fireworks started people were up and dancing and, apparently, flexing their muscles.  Is this picture funny or what?!  The only negative for the night was the traffic nightmare on the way out.  I think we need to have a discussion with the traffic engineers on this one.  The stadium was not designed to facilitate people efficiently leaving in mass, it seems.  I think it took us close to 45 minutes just to get out of the parking lot and onto an actual road to head home.
