red bulls stadium

went for the first time to Red Bulls Stadium to check out a game. there’s great views from every seat and you’re super close to the pitch. the vertical alignment of the seats gives it a coliseum type feel. also, the crowd, although not capacity, really fills the arena with noise.

as for the game, the MLS has come a long way, but the offensive third is where the game still struggles. Henry looked gives about 50% effort, but still showed glimpses of brilliance. one thing that amazes me about professional players is their touch. every player on the field had incredible touch. also, the players don’t really talk to each other on the pitch. no one is yelling man-on, get back on d, or pass.

i would definitely recommend checking out a game there, especially if you can score All-Star Man U tkts.

    if you went to saturday’s game it wasn’t an official mls game but rather a lamar hunt open cup gaem. whatever that is. the bulls ran that field 5-0 against toronto on wednesday night. great game.

    Long long ways from the Tony Meola MetroStars days. Watch Redbulls @ San Jose and was impressed with how far quality had come.

    More NY heads need to support RedBulls at Red Bull Stadium. Too bad Cosmos already have slipmats/ established brand to jump off from.

    I’d also suggest the end of August match against LA Galaxy. The past few years I’ve gone to those match ups have been entertaining and heated. Not ready to say it officially, but almost a better rivalry than RBNY v DC United?
