My son and I tried to go to the UVSC @ BYU friendly tonight. Instead of the game, we got some
lessons in the realities of PDL soccer.
The game itself was cancelled. I had a chance to talk to a couple of team representatives about
the reasons. It turned out that there were two big reasons:
- To protect the field: BYU is hosting a tournament on the field and with the bad weather they
were concerned about it's condition with an extra game
- Finances: The soccer team needs to pay for their use of the field, and with the poor weather,
they didn't expect to draw a large enough crowd to cover their costs.
"We're on the march with Watkin's army ...", 850 BYU and RSL fans showed up to cheer for the two
teams in last night's friendly. A lot of the fans were faced with the tough choice of which team to
root for. A small pocket of RCB fans were there with RSL flags, but were on their best behavior
noting that "We don't want to get kicked out of the game in the first ten minutes.
This time of year, it's hard to get a good picture without better equipment than my son was using,
but I did like this picture of RSL taking the field at the beginning of the game. Hopefully we'll
get some better pictures at next week's game against UVSC.
