Looking at my list of things to do in California, I see I still haven't done some of the big things on the list. On Saturday, I got to knock one off the list: go to a sporting event in the Rose Bowl
You may notice I am very patriotic. This is because we went to see the US soccer team take on Mexico in a big playoff game. This a huge rivalry, and being in Southern California the crowd was about70% for Mexico. But we naturally we representing red white and blue
Unfortunately on the way to the game, we had a minor issue. We were Driving along one of the famous heavy-traffic LA freeways when we heard a loud think andsuddely smelled burned rubber. Flat tire.
Luckily, we had an engineer along to figure out how to change it
We were back on the road in no time!
Anyway back to the game, the Rose Bowl itself is an amazing stadium. Not as good as penn state's, but still pretty co
We had good seats in the "America" section. We were completely surrounded by Mexican fans, but they were all good natured and fun. One girl helped us out by translating all the chants and taunts for us. Another offered me a sombrero to wear when the US was losing.
The game was very exciting, going into Overtime with Mexico scoring the winning goal right at the end. The stadium went crazy.
Overall, a very fun and unique sporting experience!
And on our way out, I noticed a familiar name on the list of Rose Bowl champions....
