On Sunday, we attended Soccerpalooza, a soccer festival that featured several Big 10 schools, local college teams and high school teams playing at the local university, IPFW. MSU men's soccer was playing the Duke Blue Devils at 10:30am. We packed a cooler of lunch food and cold drinks, as it was gonna hit 90+ degrees that day. Luckily, the game was early enough that we weren't going to be in the real heat of the day. When we got there, the crowd was pretty much split in half for both teams. We initially took seats in the bleachers, but the sun was too intense. So we moved to one end of the field where some tall trees were providing shade. From there, we sat in the grass, ate our lunch and watched the Spartans pull out 1-0 victory over Duke, who coincidentally is a top 10 preseason favorite. So much for ratings! Way to go Spartans!!
After the game, we hung around to see the players come off the field. Syd had washed her soccer ball the night before and brought a Sharpie to get some signatures. The players who signed her ball were very nice and obliging to a little future Spartan. We even got the legendary coach Joe Baum to sign the ball!
Next up is our trip up to East Lansing on Sept 4th to watch the Spartan football team take on Western Michigan.
