Yeah, I think so, although I've seen quite a few in the west side too.

I guess I ought to introduce myself, since I've been drifting over from BigSoccer more and more lately. . .
Neophyte, as in "new, uninitiated". . . I started playing soccer a few years ago as a healthy form of mid-life crisis (too cheap to buy a fast car, too smart to have an affair!). I've always loved to watch soccer, and RSL has been a great addition for us Salt Lakers this year.
Our tickets are section 36, row 8, behind the benches. My wife and kids and I have been to every game, and we even trekked out to NYC for the season opener against MetroStars. What a game-- it was like a hurricane and we were barely able to walk from the bus to the stadium due to the horizontal rain and wind gusts-- my seven year old was saying "Dad, I can't breathe cause the rain's going in my mouth!" A nice Meadowlands worker took pity on us and took us up the VIP elevators, and once we got inside, we stayed warm and (kind of) dry. An event to remember for sure. By the way, does it mean I'm a bad parent if I dragged my family to a soccer game in driving rain and cold wind in April? I think it was character-building, personally.
Favorites: jamie watson, rusty pierce, eddy pope, USMNT, River Plate, Arsenal, Barca, RSL!!!!!!!

Welcome. I suppose most of us won't hold the Aresenal thing against you.

Draggin' them through that weather is one thing, but goin' to NY is another for the opener, that's awsome! :signrocko

Welcome all new Posters!

I think I'll try making a map up this week showing the various group's locations in the stadium.

Good idea?

Hi all

My name is Paul and Im 28 from England

Came to my first Real game on Saturday night against Kansas City.
Obviously not the best game to start my following of Real

You Loyalists though need to get a few more football related chants going,perhaps I'll get some of our lads out for a game and we'll show you how us English do it

Have joined the fantasy league and my team name is Real Reading

My team and passion in the England is Reading FC where we have 2 of your country men in terms of Super Bobby Convey and Safe Hands Marcus Hahnemann

Anyway good luck Real look forward to my next game with you guys
