When we found out that Jose's favorite soccer team from Mexico, Club America, was playing in KC at Arrowhead stadium we jumped at the oppurtunity to go. It was a friendly game (not qualifying) against their arch rivals Las Chivas. It like KU vs K-State, Halstead vs. Hesston or Barkley vs the mailman but on a much bigger scale. Soccer is religion to these fans. It was quite an experience. Before we got there I asked Jose if I needed to be worried if our team didn't win. But it turned out to be a friendly rivalry. The crowd was alive throughout the entire game. The energy was awesome. A cultural experience that I won't soon forget.
