(now that i've had some sleep)
Lucky me.
This was my first experience with the Battery..and my second professional match. I was a bit skeptical at first I must say. Blackbaud is a great facility, but it's no RFK. But the game itself provided all the atmosphere that was needed ..and the fans in my section were an added bonus. (Which is more than I can say for the DC United/Colorado match I saw.)
Ben Hollingsworth was awesome. He had a sick half-bike in the first half that everyone but the ref thought was a goal.
Troy Lesesne had two quality crosses and the finish for the 3rd Battery goal was just stellar. Seemed like the Battery were obsessed with the post last night!
Anyway.. very entertaining match. Despite the flat tire I got on the way home.. it was well worth it. I think I'll definitely be making the trip down to Charleston again sometime soon.
(Next time I'm sitting near Micheal Ross again..and getting the Pub Pass)
