Opening night at Rio Tinto Stadium

Thurs. Oct. 9th was the first time RSL played in their new stadium. It was really fun, they had fireworks during the National Anthem and then they shot a ton of confetti and streamers at us. The game had it's ups and downs, there was even some red card excitement! The big screen was on the opposite side from Rice Eccles so we kept looking the wrong way for instant replays and stuff. Jeff brought a date(Megan I think) who was very nice, but he says she is too mature for him... I say one of them has to be mature right? Bobby's Cousin Tristan came with his wife Amy and they had a great time until the game was over and they discovered their car had been towed! So much for an inexpensive night out. Bobby and I drove them home and they picked up their car the next day. It was a great evening with great company. The final score was 1-1, so at least they didn't lose.
