Our Family: Real Soccer Game

My husband gets some free tickets every now and then to go to The Real Soccer Games. We usually invite a couple friends to go with us and find babysitters instead of taking the kids with us. But this time we decided it would be fun to try and take our kids with and have a fun family date. However I am not sure that we will do it again. Not because the kids were a problem. They were great in fact. It was a lot of fun to see them enjoy this experience with us. No it was because of fans. I have noticed occasional swearing and a few obscene gestures but it had been almost a year since the last time we went and I apparently forgot how bad it could get. To make matters worse there were a couple of young teenagers behind us that made it a goal to swear as many times as possible. I had to turn around and remind them that although it is possible that what they are saying might be true, it might be better to sound more educated and come up with more creative things than such obscene language. Although they didn't seem too happy about me calling them on their language luckily their mom didn't seem to bothered by me asking them to stop. But it was fine since they toned it WAY down which I appreciated. But even with them toning it down I was surprised by the cheers that I heard people cheering. I really don't remember cheers with swearing in them before so that was new and discouraging. When my daughter tried to cheer with them I had to quickly change words. So I am more than positive that professional sporting events are not at all a place for kids. We did have fun though and it will be their last for a while. Enjoy the pictures!

Before the game they have a lot of pregame things for kids and adults to enjoy. Totally might get the impression this could be a family event, right?
