Our tickets!! =p
In front of the North Entrance which we entered from...
Walking towards the entrance and queuing up at the line for people who brought bags. The security there really check your bags as you pass your bag to them and they return it to you after going through it. They even conduct a body search so there is a line for man and another for woman.
We are inside after going through the security check...
A video showing the crowd in the stadium... There were so many Honduras fans making their presence felt that we seemed to be at a Honduras home match instead of a USA home match...
The stadium was almost packed with Honduras fans making up about 60% of the people there... There were more distinct than the USA fans...
Honduras and USA players warming up before the start of the match...
Us taking photos in the stadium...
The wave in the stadium...
The players entering the field...
A huge USA flag amidst the fans...
The match started!! The people actually watched the match standing and it was for the entire match! Unbelievable!
We took a video of USA's 1st goal from a penalty kick... =p
Its half-time... It was really cold at the stadium... The wind kept blowing and probably we were near the lake and up above that it was really cold... I was freezing by half-time...
The match ended with USA wining 2 - 1! It was a rather OK match and the atmosphere was good... The only thing was that it was really too cold... I was freezing for the entire match as the chilling wind kept blowing!!
Waiting for the El train to Chinatown to collect our car... We had taken a bus from the stadium that does not make any stops in between so we were actually moving further away from Chinatown... If we had known the bus will not stop till Wacker we would have walked to the station instead as it is only 1 stop away from Chinatown...
