Good job by MetroStars on the moment of silence for the terrorist bombings in London. I don't like that they do it before the players are on the field however, I wish they would do it when they were. Bad job for not having the USA/Canada Gold Cup score on the scoreboard. Good job for the Metro Girl uniforms. Bad job for not advertising the heck out of $3 parking and free State Fair admissions on the website before the game. Why wouldn't you? I was figuring a pretty big crowd for this one. Bad job for still allowing the horns. And most importantly, good job for winning.
I was sitting near some guys who would always comment on the Yankee scores each time they were flashed. If you're not interested in the game, why come in the first place? I'm still confused as to why the national anthem is not played when both teams are on the field. Also, I believe they used to the have the "Ole, Ole, Ole..." track playing when both teams would enter field.
Here is another stadium observation: There were no ushers working at the stadium last night. Not that I really care, but has attendance gotten so bad that the NJSEA doesn't feel it is worth the trouble to hire them anymore?
