Hey gang,
Here are a few more photos from our recent excursion to Red Bull Arena.
To give you an idea of how ridiculously awesome the press seating is, here are two crappy photos from my seat. You’d think they’d sell these awesome seats to fans instead of letting bozos like me, Shawn, and Merz sit there, but I am certainly not going to complain…
One of these paintings hung on White Goodman’s office wall at Globo Gym in the movie “Dodgeball”, and one of these paintings serves as a wall mural in the press elevator lobby at Red Bull Arena. I think they were painted by the same guy. See if you can figure out which is which…
While we’re comparing and contrasting, here was the view from our hotel room…
….and here was the view inside equipment manager Rusty Wummel’s hotel room.
No partying for Rusty. All of those bags were packed and weighed and ready to be shipped to Kansas City for the second game of the road trip.
Crew radio man Neil Sika said that as amazing as Red Bull Arena is, there is still “something very IKEA about the place.” He specifically pointed to the furniture…
Here’s an awesome sign we saw on the way home. That place has got to be the most carefree and chilled out town in all of Pennsylvania. It’s a shame it wasn’t exit #32. (Photo by Neil Sika.)
Shawn Mitchell may not have a lifelong soccer pedigree, but the next time a reader asks, “Who is Shawn Mitchell to make that statement?”, well, the Cracker Barrel golf-tees-in-a-wooden-triangle game has declared that by virtue of his leaving just one golf tee on the board, Shawn Mitchell is a freakin’ GENIUS.
And finally, while my trip to Red Bull Arena definitely showed me that Red Bull does things first class, this sign momentarily made me think they do things “high class” as well.
Turns out I read waaaaaaaay too much into that sign. My bad.
