Game good, but did not like the smoke and drums. Would go again.
Its like kissing your sister, seriously. Why no shoot outs. This was my first professional soccer game. My comment is that you wade through 90 minutes of basically boring running up and down waiting for a shootout, to see who wins, then nothing.. the music comes on and the game is over. I was stunned. I might as well have gone to the ballet, like my wife suggested.
This was my first Rowdies game, as I'm not from the area and was visiting Tampa. It was a lot of fun and we had great seats. We eventually went up to the fan crowd seating which was so much fun! I loved the chants and people. Unfortunately it had just rained, so I felt bad for the guys playing on that kind of field. It was like watching them play in a pool of water. I was really excited to see Joe Cole play (I'm a huge Chelsea fan) but he pretty much stomped off the field after the 0-1 defeat. So the ending wasn't pleasant, but oh well. It was overall a fun experience and I would go to another game if I visit again.
Bought tickets for my Dad's BD. He was unable to walked the 26 steps to our seats. Spoke with a Rowdies rep and we were able to sit in the handicap section. Was treated kindly!!! Enjoyed the game, but feel our Rowdies was robbed with the penalty kick!!
We sat in the first row of midfield section one with the promise that people would be stopped from walking in front of us during the game. Instead, there was a constant stream of people walking in front of us to their seats and the security person -- who sat right there with the duty to make people go around -- refused to do anything about it. We missed a large number of key plays because people were walking by. A real waste of $160 ($80 per seat) plus fees. Don't buy these seats. There was a line at the entrance because the ticket technology was broken. We were also extremely disappointed with the action on the field. The players at times did not seem to be trying very hard and seemed to like to delay the game with overdramatic responses to small injuries. But the worst thing was that the official referee decided the game by giving Edmonton a very difficult to block penalty kick. The 1-0 result was clearly manufactured by the referee. A very frustrating result... especially when he continue to make calls all one way through the game. If this is NASL's product -- delays of game by overdramatic injuries and referees willing to make decisions on who wins a game -- then the league may not last long.
we had a great time at the match! We love the Rowdies (since 1975!) (BTW, the popcorn is a lot better than last year!)
Great game. Rowdies were fantastic, showed some worth-watching soccer.
This was our second game of the season. My wife won't go to a baseball game 'cause she doesn't enjoy the sport. So I make her happy with the Rowdies. The refs were hurting the Rowdies for the first 80 minutes of the match. But in the final 6 minutes and the 5 minutes of extended time, the Rowdies came charging back to at least tie the game. GO ROWDIES
This was an entertaining night out, watching skilled players, joining the crowd of enthusiastic supports, on a beautiful night in St. Pete.
Great game except for the refs. The fans were into game the entire time and the Rowdies came back from a 2-0 deficit with 5 min left to get a tie. Should have been a win if the officials knew what they were doing.
We had a great time and great seats... Can't wait to go again!
Great experience, very entertaining, will do it again
I had no idea that a soccer game could be so much fun! It was a real event and the Rowdies fans come out in numbers!!
Awesome experience overall to sum in up! Will definitely attend future games!
The game was exciting especially when the rowdies had a quick goal to tie after Jacksonville scored. A lot of energy in the stands made for an exciting game.The game sold out so all seats were accounted for and a lot of general admission ticket holders were sitting wherever they wanted which made for a lot of uncomfortable situations when reserved ticket holders wanted their seats and had to argue to get them. And don't like when #11 wears his pants down in the back.No body wants to see his sweaty underwear and butt crack.
Game was pretty good. The free concert was an awesome plus! I would definitely come back ☺️☺️
First of all, there was no seats available to sit down, wife and I stood by the stairs trying to watch the game, security kept coming aggressively insisting that no one could stay on the steps. There were many others sitting on the actual steps and had no issues, we tried to get into one of aisles but we could not due to the amount of people, this nasty individual kept bugging me until we decided to leave and find another spot to watch the game. Without any success and being kicked out of every other place where we stood we decided to leave this game behind. It is not worth paying for this type of game when we can stand up outside the stadium fence and watch it for free. Terrible experience, if it was sold out it should be at least a place where you could stand up and watch the game. Rowdies you just lost two fans.
Rowdies game, fireworks, and a free Flo Rida concert all included. Great venue and a great value, plus Rowdies games are a blast!
Great family event! Music and Soccer perfect combination. Great fun crowd. Friendly Staff. Safe
We had a great time at the game. There were several attempts made at goals and they were thwarted by both teams. We love going to the games.
