When people think of a soccer match they imagine two teams battling in order to become the victor. However, if someone would attend a game at Red Bull Arena they would see how there is more to soccer then simply winning. Before the game even starts there is a sea of people walking to the arena each proudly wearing their teams’ colors; it’s like swimming in a rainbow. During the game watching the way the players handle the ball and show their skill is truly an art form in it’s own. Win or lose one thing that always gets a person’s blood pumping is the roar of the crowd, whether they are shouting praises or insults it creates a mob mentality unlike any other. The crowd also sings songs that motivate their team while discouraging the other team; the crowd also does organized dances and chants to stimulate the rest of the crowd. The crowd truly is a vital part of the experience and the game would not be the same without it. When one realizes all the things that truly make up a soccer game at Red Bull Arena they must ask themselves the question: “Is a soccer game really just a bunch brutes chasing a ball or is it a little bit more?”
