Rapids Class VI

Took one for the team

...Something that the actual team isn't willing to do.

If I were Fernando, I would have fallen on my sword after 10 sucky games in a row. In this case, doing the honorable thing means resigning.

If I were Jeff Plush, I would have pulled the ripcord on my golden parachute after 10 craptacular games and moved on to my next executive washroom.

If I were Kroenke, I would have fired my hair-piece manufacturer after learning that Arsenal lost that Henry guy, then I would have made the entire Rapids FO lick my cowboy boots, just for fun.

But I'm not. I'm the BilFish.

So the only thing I could do is attend the Season Ticket Holder Party on behalf of Class VI and file this visual report...

First up...

The "party" itself. Held on the West concourse, quite a nice little foody event with about three hundred and eleven more people than I expected.

I was soon gored by the newest Rapids mascot "Marco" Polo.

Are you kidding me? Just look at this mane! The buffalo chicks are going to go (falsetto) kuhRAYYYY-zeeee.....

Before wandering into the locker room area, I took one last glance at the beautiful grounds...

Apparently, this hasn't proven to be enough of an inspiring sight to the players.

Time for the self-guided "tour" ;-)

And BilFish...

Mmmmm, what's that great smell?

The Rapids Boot Room. The title's more impressive than the unstained wood on brick room itself.

Moving on...

This is where the team listens to the coach blather on about something or other.

And this is where Pablo is during those speeches..

The Pablo Mastroeni Wing of the Rapids Treatment Room

Looking for inspiration.

The Rapids Players work(out) to find a reason to keep playing. This view should inspire them.

And if that doesn't do it, this sure as shit should:

It inspired me.

So did this.

East Stands

No tour of The Dick would be complete without a final pitstop before heading home...

Ahhhh.... Now that's refreshing!
