The Greatest Spectacle in Racing |
Sorry for the delay. This Memorial Day weekend I took a 5 day trip to the Indy 500 and a few other midwest cities. I saw my Minnesota Twins lose to the Chicago White Sox at US Cellular too. I enjoyed some sporting events, and the epitome of white trash. I even got to see some of the USMNT game vs Scotland in a restaurant. They clicked and this was a good start for this 5 game stretch for them. Maybe when Landon returns to LA they can change their ways, but as for now, they are at the bottom of the Western conference.
I did not see much of the MLS games, but they looked to be exciting and full of goals. This Memorial Day Weekend was also good for attendance as many teams had large or sell out crowds.

ReplyDeleteI enjoy your post every week. Im curious, how does attendance progress during the course of a season? This has been an unusually warm spring so that would explain most of the positive numbers.
