Red Bull Arena -- First Impressions
Two friends and I had the pleasure of helping to usher in the opening of a new era in New York area soccer — the opening of Red Bull Arena on March 20th. The match was an exhibition versus Brazilian club Santos. This post mainly serves as an introduction to our new world of Red Bull Arena for those used to the good ol’ days at a mostly empty Giants Stadium.

These were fantastic and very simple to make. Mine were decidedly uglier than the ones presented in the post because I, apparently, have no motor skills. I didn’t pock them either, though I probably will next time. They could also benefit from some spice, perhaps in the form of a dash or so of cayenne pepper in the flour/cheese mixture.
