One of my favorite experiences was when I went to my first live soccer game. This to me is one of the best experiences I’ve been through because soccer is my favorite sport. So to get the chance to watch to watch a game live was a wonderful experience. What made this experience so memorable was the fact that México was playing, which is my favorite national team. It was great to see players that I looked up to, in person. Another thing that made it better was that I got to go with my family and we all got to experience the game together. Going to my first game was one of my best experiences. First, I remember I was walking to my uncle’s house, and as I was walking to his house he and another uncle of mine picked me up halfway. …show more content…

When I asked her, she told me right of way that it was okay because she knew how much it meant to me. I got very happy and let my uncles know that she agreed to me going. Then we talk about what time we are leaving the next day and get all the other small details sorted out. It’s finally the next day and we head out a couple hours before the game. As we are on the way there, we got lost but found our way to the stadium just in time before the game started. The first thing you see is how full the parking lot was. You saw so many people walking to the stadium and how happy everyone seemed to …show more content…

I get a feeling that I can’t describe I get to see my favorite team play and I didn’t know how long it would be to see them again so I just soak up the moment. I get to see players that I watched on TV for so long, in actual person. I see my team doing good and playing very well, but we couldn’t get the goal. The other team started to play better than us, and they scored because of it. You could hear the stadium erupt in cheers when as they took the lead. Even though we were losing I didn’t get upset because I was just happy to be there. The environment there was just so positive, you could hear people from both sides screaming and chanting for their team. People started to do the wave and it was so entertaining to be a part of it and to see thousands of people do it all at once. The final score was 2-0 in favor of Colombia it sucked that we didn’t win, but I was not really bothered because the experience its self was enough for me to go home happy, a win would have just been the icing on the

    It was near 11:00 on a Saturday morning when I saw the stadium that was hosting the greatest concert of all time. The stadium had an interesting architecture such in that the top of the stadium had rolling curves as if it was a roller coaster ride. The top was pearl white that had a shine to it from a distance. When we pulled into the parking lot, which looked like was just newly paved with asphalt, the stadium was much bigger than I had imagined. Immediately I noticed that white glittering bronco from the old Mile High Stadium was put up standing in perfect view of everyone. I could see cars parked in parking lot as far as the eye could see. As I began to walk toward the stadium there were people beginning to line up at all the gates leading into the newly built stadium.

    Amazingly, when I am at the stadium, I also see a lot of people I know even though I am two hours away from home. Everyone loves Neyland Stadium. I love the fact that everyone comes together to cheer for one team and act excited to attend. This makes the game intense because when the game takes a bad turn, everyone joins in a giant roar against the referees. After you become a true fan, you begin to take those bad calls personally. You can thing of your trip as an adventure into a land which normally can only be seen on TV. You leave the stadium with a warm tingle in the pit of your stomach, of course if they win. You can feel good about yourself knowing that you played a part in the team achieving their victory.

  • The Embodiment of Suspense in Soccer

    983 Words  | 2 Pages

    It was a bright, August day, with a temperature to match. At least 85°, sun outside was at its peak, with not a cloud to be seen for miles. Such a day is almost unheard of in southern Germany, where the weather tends to be milder year round. It was the perfect day to begin the new season, as well as my first match. I had played many games before this day – nine years’ worth in fact. However, they had all been in the United States, where football is the king of sports. Although the atmosphere was similar, there were distinct, yet almost intangible differences. Many devoted soccer fans do exist in the United States, but the aura at many matches seems to be rather lackluster. Many of those present appear to be disinterested, and it is rarer to see a full venue than in Europe. The set up and division of the sport alone set itself apart from the US. Schools do not have sports teams, only clubs and cities do. Most of the players had been with the same coach and team members since they...

We had seats way at the top of Madison Square Garden where you almost couldn’t see the whole ice if you stood up but every seat around us was filled with people decked out in blue rooting for the Rangers. Lastly, this event was so memorable because of how the game was played and its outcome. The Rangers took the early lead scoring two goals in the first and second period but soon after the Kings scored to make it 2-1.
