Red Bull Arena: Gotham FC vs Seattle Reign
Our last flight to see our thirteenth stadium out of fourteen (our final stadium is a road trip drive to Lumen Field in Seattle next weekend) put us in Washington DC for last night’s game, then Newark, NJ for today’s Gotham vs. Seattle Reign game.
It’s a cool venue, very European in flavor and design, but unfortunately they offered mostly forgettable stadium food which was a surprise given all the great food NYC is known for. It would have been nice to see a broad set of international food options instead of just hot dogs and burgers.
Chaos reigned as so many NWSL matches do near the end. Gotham got up by one shortly after the start of the second half, but in the dying seconds of injury-added time Seattle Reign tied it up on a wild cross to a header just before the final whistle blew.
