NY Times Examines the Soccer-Football Concessions Divide



Wanna get all hi-brow about the differences in the fan experience between futbol and football? Go here and read this. But don't read this...because they are biters (but then again so is everyone on the net so who am I to judge).

I love both sports so I don't feel the divide too much...mostly because like many American soccer fans I take in my footie in an American football stadium. They sell the same food that they do at an NFL game, the only difference being that they don't bother to open all of the concession stands for soccer.

And tailgating...Shit, I plan on tailgating tomorrow at a soccer game; my time parking lot will outlast the game by 2 hours on either side. No matter how Eurosnobish the soccer fan, they'll always take the chance to get blind drunk, and filled to the point of bursting with sausage. It is our right as Americans. And if we don't the terrorist have won!
