I have been to two Monarch soccer games during my time here. Soccer to Mexicans is what the NFL is to Americans. The fans are passionate and hate seeing their team lose. The stadium reminded me of Reser, but only a lot older.
Throughout the game, venders sell a number of items from beer to noise makers. A popular snack during the game is garbanzo beans with salsa and limes. They sell them unpealed, so you have to removed the shell in your mouth like sunflower seeds. I thought I would give them a try. Needless to say, it can become very messy.
The first game I saw was with my host dad and his two sons. The game was a tie at 0 - 0. The second game I went with some friends. Unfortunately, Morelia let San Lois score in the first 2 minutes, and the game ended on a 1-2 loss for the Monarchs. Overall, I love sports, but watching the fans and being in the culture of the stadium was equally as fun.
