You Say Potato, I Say Potahto, You Say Football, I Say Soccer

STADE DE FRANCE

I was very excited for this. It is the equivalent of going to an NFL game here, except imagine it is the pre-season but everyone shows up for it, and you only have to pay 10 bucks for a ticket. Pretty awesome. The Stade de France trip in bullet points:

  • The RER (the train to the suburbs) was insanely crowded. 0 personal space.
  • The stadium is massive and I believe it holds somewhere between 70k and 80k people.
  • I had a "hotdog" after the game. It was actually two hotdogs in a baguette. And I thought I put regular mustard on it, I did not. It was for real Dijon... with horseradish. My sinuses were clear.

And here's the Stade de France in pictures and videos.

The game ended in a 0-0 tie, which sucked cuz it made the game kind of boring and I will probably have to go back to see an actual goal scored. But I will be going back anyways to see a Rugby game, so be sure to stay posted for that. I hear they're better than soccer games!

A la prochaine,
Justin
