No further ado
Alright. It’s finally time for the big game (see previous post).
We arrive early to see what we can see.
Jersey. Check.
Pre-game concessions. Check.
Crowd Control. Check.
More armed guards. Check.
Pre-game show. Check.
GameView.
Orange is for losers.
Flares are for winners.
So, that’s the story. This was definitely one of my favorite things in Santiago. Everyone REALLY gets in to the game–I mean, REALLY and I mean EVERYONE. At the end, a guy came over the loud speaker and told the losing fans to stay in their seats until the winning fans had cleared out of the stadium, as in, for their safety. We found out after the game that even though Universidad de Chile won, they needed to win by 2 points to go on, and they only won by 1 (we were really confused because we knew the home team won, but the home fans were all mad at the same time). We left in a cab (they are very cheap in Santiago btw) and we actually did see a fight from the cab window and then we saw some really serious cops straighten things out pretty fast.
Gotta go.
