I think in the near future, petite asian women will take over the world.

(if Segroves and Friedel don't get there first.)

I was at the game... and I understand the that capacity is in the range of 27k. I believe there were more empty seats than full ones at most times during the game. Assuming that would mean that there were 14-15k people in the seats - that means there were 10,000 people wandering around the concourse area... . I dont think so... more likely 16k at the game - not the 23k that they announced.

How can they get away with reporting that? Are there really 7K no shows? Im sure the concourses are nice anemities and everything, but they take everyone out of their seats and make the crowd look real bad on TV. No biggie in the long run, but just kinda a pet peeve of mine.

Tickets sold. This can't be said enough. It's the same way every pro league counts attendance bar the NFL. And if someone paid for the ticket, what's the problem?

So, let's not dwell on it.

Something intresting about Saturday's game against Los Angeles, that the FIRE were wearing there red jersey's. Why don't they wear there red jersey's more on the road.

For whatever reason, most, if not all teams, wear their home kits in LA. Maybe since LAs home kits are lighter, the away team gets to wear their dark ones. I dunno if this has to do with the whole production truck thing but maybe it does. Anyway, I like it, since it adds more color to the game.
