It took us 45 minutes to get into the game, but some waited much longer.

Word has it that Joe Biden lost a couple thousand votes Saturday.

When the game started, thousands of fans were stuck outside the Linc. Security put every entrant to the game through a metal detector and a full-body frisk. The lines were so long that, by the time we got to the front, we couldn’t see the end of the line.

Why? Because Vice President Joe Biden stopped by to kick a ball for a photo op.

Some of the PSP crew – Mike, Adam and I – got stuck outside too, and boy, was that great.

The kickoff of the first home game: Missed it.

The first Union goal ever: Yeah, all we saw was the celebratory smoke explosions above the stadium.

Were you stuck out there with us?

Did you jeer everyone who tried to cut the line, including that guy with his foot in a soft cast?

Did you join in the “F*ck Joe Biden” chant?

(Even better, are you That Guy who started it and completely lost his junk when he realized he missed the Union’s first goal?)

If so, we have something for you.

PSP designer Fredo Silva took that little Union flier handout memorial and personalized it for all the true blue-and-gold Union fans who went through all that BS to get into the game.

It makes a great dartboard! Fun for the whole family!

Enjoy.

PS: It’s a good thing the game was ridiculously awesome, eh? Had Le Toux not scored a couple more goals, we might not be so giddily presenting this to you. Yes, giddy. Good times. Would’ve been even better had we gotten in before the 12th minute.
