T Minus 4: Rio Tinto Stadium Countdown Has Begun
With less than 4 days to go until another MLS side gets it's sweet little ass out of a faux-grassed enormodrome and into it's own appropriately sized, revenue-generating home. So it's Rio Tinto Stadium week with Real Salt Lake being the lucky ladies this time; they'll be walked down the isle by RBNY on MLS Primetime Thursday and it's going be wild times. Well, it'll be what passes for wild in Utah.
With New York lacking 3 starters due to national team duties and what's sure to be a capacity, raucous crowd (or what passes for raucous in Salt Lake City) RSL looks to be the greatest lock for 3 points since Larry Bird left the N.B.A. Everyone is super-stoked, from the players to the fans and especially the local papers, who will be giving this opening major love throughout the week. I can only hope that Red Bull Arena's opening will be as successful in cutting through the static of the New York news cycle.

Is that true that they dont serve beer at their games in SLC.
I was gonna go there next year, but now this is giving me second thoughts
The stadium pictures on rslboz.com show beer taps on the concession stands. I believe the no beer sales rule was in effect for Rice-Eccles because it's on a University campus
They didn't sell beer at Rice Eccles, but they will at Rio Tinto
They will even have Guinness on tap in the Supporters Section!
