Many people know me as a Rabid Soccer fan, but few have ever documented this on video. This is a frame from the 10/09/08 broadcast. I was an enthusiastic spectator and came home hoarse from enthusiastically supporting my team.
Last night was the Inaugural Game for Real Salt Lake at the new Rio Tinto Stadium in Sandy. ESPN2 covered the game in a nation-wide broadcast.
One of the first video sequences of the new stadium was of me, David Lifferth, yelling and clapping with enthusiasm. Shortly after this video was shown, I had 4 members of my family text me on my cell phone telling me that they had just seen me on ESPN2.
The new Rio Tinto stadium is an amazing athletic venue. It remindes me of the world-class facilities that I have been to in Spain and England. It is every bit the outdoor equivalent of the Delta Center is polished state of the art facility. The "Jumbo Tron" is crisp in high resolution and very close to the fans.
The game ended in a disappointing tie, RSL 1-NY Red Bulls 1. Real needs at least one more win to ensure that they are in the playoffs.
