Putting on the game face
Just to make things clear
There will be bearfights
The makers of the Sons of Ben documentary were on hand
Here’s what we’re gonna do…
Red Bull sighting
At Red Bull Arena entrances are called “chutes”
Rallying before heading up to the stands
Into the belly of the bullock
The SoBs are in the house
An impressive tifo display, but who brings the crowd?
The Red Bulls lineup is announced
Union players applaud the traveling support
Play is underway
It is a fine stadium
20 minutes, ten seconds
Union players and coaching staff show their appreciation after the loss
The SoBs continued to applaud the team long after the final whistle

Its a nice stadium. Too bad the pink cows can’t fill it even for a rivlary game.
That’s the thing. It’s not a rivalry game for them. They don’t care. It’s much bigger for Philly than for NYRB.
So the game at PPL is a bigger game for them than the home fixture? They travel in pretty good numbers for that.
there were more people at the usoc and aston villa games at ppl.
What was that on their tifo? Is that the ghost from the Ghostbusters logo?
