RSL home game attendance question/observation

We're working on adding bugles as we speak.

I'm seriously considering kazoo shopping. To razz the other team during corner kicks if nothing else!

I happen to know where you might obtain said kazoo. 🙂

Outstanding!

I'm sure you're already aware of this, but with every home game you guys are establishing what will soon become RSL traditions. All I can say is good on all of you.

In three games, RSL has raised the bar for home support in MLS. I can't believe it's happened so fast, but it has. Wednesday will be a test of how deep our support is, but we're already WAY ahead of schedule.

Keep it going!

I'm all for this kazoo band we talked about on Saturday :D

If anyone needs a kazoo, my mom (who owns a music store) will sell you one for 75 cents. PM me or whatever if you want one...

I hope we manage 15,000. I think that Star Wars may have an impact since a lot of the people at the games are from the younger set and I know a lot of 'younger set' that see midnight showings of Star Wars as a social event just as much as RSL games are as well.

Of course... if you are smart you can make it to both. Just have a pointy-ball fan save you a spot in the line while you enjoy a sport that isn't slave to the TV timeout. (can you think of any other? .... just as I thought. 🙂 )

What I love about the sport is that the match lasts < 2 hours. No stoppage except half time. Why can't more sports learn from this!

FYI...

I am a loyalist but my wife really wanted seatbacks, so we are over in E34. You guys sounded great on Sat! Now, I have a suggestion. As you all have probably noticed, your placement right next to general admission is paying big dividends...they are joining in on many of the chants :D and their sheer numbers are making it sound great. (BTW...I got goose-bumps after the 2nd goal when fully 1/2 of the stadium was into the "ReAL" chant) My suggestion is, for some of the more popular chants, make up some big poster boards with the words (ie...ReAL or Salt Lake)... Many times we can hear the music for the chant, but the words are not too clear...by the time we all figure out what you are saying, the chant is over.

again...great job...and the trumpet added a lot. When the horn section matches the numbers for the percussion section...WOW :D !

Oops, I thought of another.

During the game, is their any way to get in touch with Samba Gringa who are over on the SE side of the stadium. If so, for some of the more popular chants...bub-Da-Da-Bum-Da-Da-bum- "ReAL" we could get them going at the same time you could get the whole East and North sides rolling... :D I'm not sure if RES or the front office has walkie-talkies to be used, but if we could coordinate (not often...just when necessary) we could really show the rest of the league what a home field advantage sounds like...
