November 21 - Take Two

Later the same day, in the first deep freeze of the year, with a crazy wind coming in off the lake, we were down at BMO Field for the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2010 Major League Soccer Championship game.

Beautiful Red and White Flares - custom made for us by the good folks at DMD Systems - formed a perimeter behind the players as strains of "Oh Canada" filled the night air. With the crowd cheering, we sent Comets and Mines screaming hundreds of feet into the air.

The game was a nail-biter. Dallas led 1-0 until the final minutes of the game when Colorado tied it all up. Colorado went on to win 2-1 in overtime. Mere minutes later we were shooting confetti at the 2010 Champions.
