First Columbus Crew Game

Not a bad way to start. A playoff game! The Columbus Crew took on Real Salt Lake in the second game of the 2009 MLS Playoffs. It was my first Crew game… and Daniel's second.

Plus, we snagged tickets to sit with the "Hudson Street Hooligans" in the Nordecke (the northeast corner of the stadium).

The Crew scored twice in the first half to take a commanding lead. But penalties helped RSL tie the game by half time. Some questionable officiating helped RSL eventually win the game 3 to 2, knocking the defending champions out of the MLS playoffs.

More details about the game are here, on the Columbus Crew's website.
