Soccer Virgin No More
I attended my first soccer match in style. Guess one of the perks in of consulting with Red Bull on the launch of a US sports culture magazine is getting to go to the brand’s cool events. And this past weekend I found myself in a posh suite at the New York Red Bulls opener against the Seattle Sounders. The Red Bull owned team won 1-0.
Can’t say I know much more about the world’s most popular sport, but I did have a good time watching it. Even better was taking in the vibe. From the PATH train ride from WTC to Harrison, NJ (where the stadium is), to the young fans chanting on about new American hero Frenchman Thierry Henry (14), the game fever was palpable.
Can’t wait for the next time.
