Arturo Alvarez: It's a not-so-cruel twist of fate that the first game of the season is against Artie's new team Real Salt Lake, so the ever smiling Texadorean left footer will be back at the Buck. We will welcome him back, just as we do with all former Earthquakes, but only for about ten minutes.
Gourmet Food Trucks: Hot dogs and Skittles don't do it for me, so my usual pre-game ritual is a turkey bacon guacamole at Quizno's, which is then followed by a kettle corn and lemonade. This season there will be barbecue, Indian food and cup cakes, all of which will add up on my Livestrong Daily Plate. Pretty soon we won't need seat cushions for the bleachers - we'll have our own built in padding.
Season ticket buddies: I am blessed with a cadre of wise guys in the immediate vicinity of my season ticket. They've all been fans from the Quakes 1.0 at the Spartan Stadium. Since 2008, we've had a great laugh, and yell at the bench - yes, you too Artie if that foot is still sore. We especially like to keep the ref honest with our insightful comments on his visual acuity, especially rewarding since we know he can hear us.
I hope to see you there...
