Stadium Dreams

This morning I got up at quarter after five to join Nate, Scott, Drew, and several other Real Salt Lake fans and the new Rio Tinto stadium. The Channel 2 morning show was there to discuss the first game in the new stadium, which happens to be next Thursday, and wanted some fans there for authenticity I guess, I don't really care. I went for two reasons: 1) I love RSL and 2) We were being given a once in a lifetime opportunity to play on the new pitch and get an up close view of the stadium. Needless to say, it was totally awesome. We kicked the ball around, took some shots on goal, sat in our new seats, and snuck off to give ourselves a little tour of the stadium. Here are some photos from our excursion.

Pretty awesome huh? Our seats are on the first and second row just left of the L on lake. I can't wait.
