I was fortunate enough to attend the opening game at the Home Depot Center in LA last weekend. What a show! What a facility! I was also lucky enough to attend the Friday night gala to celebrate the opening of the stadium. This was heaven for any soccer fan. Pele, Brad Freidel, Balboa, Ramos, Harkes, Contigulia, Garber, Gazidis, Gulati, Anschutz, Hunt, Jurgen Klinsman, Paul Caliguiri, the women's WC champs from '91, Peter Wilt, and on and on and on. Even John Salley, Al Michaels, and Tom Arnold. Wow! Photo ops, autographs, and a silent auction. Reps from Real Madrid, Morelia, and other teams, countries, etc.. This is how it ought to be all the time. Thank you MLS for a great weekend! Fire fans, you have to make a trip to LA to see this up close.
Hmmm, maybe now they'll talk a little footy on thier show, doubt it.At least not until there are multi millionaire dollar soccer asses too kiss.
I was also lucky enough to be able to attend the opening weekend events for the HDC. I had a few great camera shots with my idol, Phil Anschutz. Man!!! that guy is so sauve and confidence that his balls have to be as big as my vetts V-8 engine. My ultimate one night stand if I was a chick. I also had a great photot op with Freddie Adu!!! Poster perfect picture. The stadium rocks and it was funny that Phil actually remebered me fromt he night before.It was kind of funny. That stadium is so awesome. I can't put it in words. But I have 2 hours of video of the pre-game speeches ont he pre games intros and the game itself. Worth the trip in gold!!!!!
