The only competition might be LA Galaxy (but since the city has 4 times the pop of Utah and they have their own stadium, they don't count).
Just wanted you guys to know, even though you don't think your doing a good job, you are.
That is all.

Concurrence from SoCal.

Having been to three Galaxy games this year already, I think RSL has them bet. DCU fans are probably the only competition.

I was wondering that myself. Did they get there at halftime because it took that long to paint themselves up or what?

I had my five-year-old with me saturday...after all it was chevron family night...so I had to sit up a little higher, since the little guy wouldn't be able to see anything other than Fuegote's butt :D if we were down with the loyalists.

So there we were, just above the loyalists. The drums were pounding and people were cheering, but I was amazed at how little I could make out of the cheers. I always sit and cheer with the loyalists. I know the cheers, and I still had a hard time figuring out what cheer we were doing sometimes. I think we really need to print out a songlist and distribute it to the fans. Would the Front Office be willing to put it in the program with the other inserts? Or can we just have a big pile of them, and pass them down the rows like they did in school? It can't cost more than twenty bucks or so to print up a huge amount of them and hand them out. And we can put on the top of the paper--please save and use all season long. Each game we could hand out several hundred, until people start telling us, "I already have one...thanks." I think it would really work wonders. With a small enough font, we could get all the major cheers onto a little card.

what do you think?

I plan on taking some cheers on paper with me where we sit during the world cup match so that those around me are prepared for my madness.

The tall one is the keeper for Waterford, another one plays soccer for Westminster, and the other two have played with them on various Sparta teams. They came to "sit" with us because they were being told to sit down by people in their own section. The only reason that I know this is because I'm in a band with one of the soccer coaches at Waterford and he knew that we'd be okay with them standing the whole match.

The red soccer-head kids made me laugh. They started out over in the southwest corner, migrated over to the Undesirables briefly, and left again.

Their sign was awesome. :D

They tried to hang it near the Loyalist Section and Security made them take it down.
You are talking about the banner that read,
"Jason Kreis, Our Saviour", correct?

Yeah, that one.

Do you have to have a special permit to hang up banners or something?

It actually said "Jesus Kreis, our Savior" and I'm sure that's why they wouldn't let them hang it.

I only saw it for about 3 and a half seconds so if it actually said Jesus Kreis then I can understand why they bannished it. May not agree with them but I can see the point.

If I make a sign that says "Undesirables" for E40-41, do you think they'd pull that too?
