Colorado Rapids Soccer

In July, Zoey attended a soccer camp and she got a free ticket (and discounts for us) to a Colorado Rapids soccer game. We also got to participate in the flag ceremony during the national anthem. This meant we walked out on the field before the game and helped hold a gigantic Colorado flag. Even though we had to arrive super early and wait forever, it turned out to be a fun experience. Whenever we go to professional sports games, Zoey always wants to know how kids get to do stuff on the field, so I figured it would be fun for her to do this.

We weren't supposed to have phones or cameras out on the field, but I snuck some pictures in. Here we are on the field. The game was on ESPN too and I had my parents watching but they only showed us for a second.

Max, doing his duty...


The stadium when we entered for flag duty... mostly empty




And then, we went to our seats. They were super good. Just a couple rows up from the field.



At camp, Zoey met one of the Rapids players and got his autograph on her cleat...




this shot didn't go in...


GOAL!! for Colorado.... They were playing LA Galaxy, but Landon Donovan wasn't there because he was playing for the men's national team.






Another goal for Colorado here... The goalie was really mad after this one...


Lucky for the goalie, this one was just a hair wide...


Going for the header but the ball gets lost in the crowd...


We had a fun day. Everyone enjoyed the experience.
