Good match between Sky Blue FC and Chicago Red Star, but here's a question: Why is Red Star playing in Sky Blue and Sky Blue playing in some sort of off red color? I know Chicago's uni is adapted from the city flag, but every time the announces screams 'SKY BLUE' when the team in red does well, it's kinda confusing.
Can't say I watched the match as my little guy was baptized today, but when I saw the promo on FSC I thought the same exact thing. A little strange to say the least.
All I saw is that the 5000 spectators per game seems to be shrinking down to 500. Maybe it was the camera angle during the few moments I watched... From the highlights I have seen there have been some quality goals - the product doesnt seem poor. Hopefully they can make it work.
The league is great. However, I feel they should be playing in smaller stadiums until the league grows. It just looks bad on TV. The Fire attendance looks bad enough. Looks really bad when the Red Stars play. I know there hare smaller venues near Chicago that would work much better for the Red Stars. 4000 fans in a 20,000 seater...no atmosphere. 4000 fans in a 4000 seater would allow for amazing atmosphere.
