So I went to my very first Real Madrid game a few weeks ago. I must say, even though we were in the nosebleed seats, the view was incredible. It was a completely different than any soccer game I've been to in the United States. First of all, there are no food stands. No one is eating food or drinking beer while watching the game. What do they do instead? They smoke, eat sunflower seeds, and they watch the game. In addition to not letting food be a distraction during the event, no one leaves their seat while the ball is in play. What this results in is 80,000 people "oohing" and "ahhing" in absolute unison, almost as if there was a script. Plus, just like in tennis, when a player makes a great play everyone claps in unison. It doesn't matter if the person plays for the opposing team or not. Everyone was there to enjoy the game and it was the most fun I've had at a soccer game, even though it ended 0-0.
