Vicente Calderón Stadium

Thanks to Andy, Kirsten and I got to go watch Atletico Madrid play Real Betis.

It was an interesting Uber ride to the stadium with a Romanian from Pennsylvania (where the vampires are from) who used to work in Dubai. It was dampened somewhat by his trying to drive off with the backpack and me running down the highway on ramp trying tonged it back. But we got there safely and just in time for kick off.

We only got to watch the first half but that included the goal (only one in 90 minutes) so we didn't miss anything.

Kirsten clapped for the whole time and wanted to know when it was our turn to play. She was disappointed that we didn't get a turn. I was just glad we didn't freeze to death. It was icy cold at the top of the stand but all in all a great night out.Read more
