First Home Game and Section 26 homebrew comp.

After two road games RSL finally was able to play in Rio Tinto for the first time this season and the fans were more then ready. While result left something wanting everyone had a good time. I should remind you that on Friday I predicted that Will Johnson would have a great game and the Canadian came though with an excellent header to level the score at 1-1.
Back to the fans; as early as 3pm there were about 60 fans in the tailgate lot southwest of the stadium. It was quite the sight to behold hopefully this trend well continue all year. Its easy to say must people were partaking in tailgating for Section 26's Homebrew contest now in its second year.

A change for this year is the return of Real Salt Lake's oldest supporter group, The Loyalists, to the the lot for tailgating. Welcome back.

I didn't see the La Barra or Union Real at the tailgate. I well ask around to see if they have changed lots and for what reason.

Unfortunately I was unable to get any pictures of the Supporters Groups in the stands do to dealing with issues with my own supporters group before the game. if you want pictures of the fans in the stands visit rslsoapbox.com for an excellent collection of photos from all the local groups and the visiting Seattle fans.

Something I am starting this year is a Supporter Group of the Match to highlight the Group I felt Supported the team the best. For this match it is undoubtedly Section 26 for organizing the excellent homebrew contest.
