Interesting Experience!
by Deckie67 on 10/2/16RFK Stadium - WashingtonRating: 4 out of 5I have attended many football matches across Europe over the years, but this was my first football match in the US - or soccer game - as the Americans call it. It was all razzamatazz from the start. The parachute drop, the ceremonial kick off, the half time entertainment and so on. One thing that surprised me was that a large portion of the fans seemed to have no interest in the actual match. Many arrived in half way through the first half, but still had plenty of time to buy enormous quantities of match food before taking their seats. Others seemed to be more interested in waving to their friends and seeing who was there. And then they left before the end of the match! At times there seemed to be as many out in the food vending areas as in watching the game. However it was a very interesting & enjoyable experience and felt extremely safe, with no tension at all
