Welcome to Buck Shaw Stadium

I went to the first home game for the Quakes at the renovated Buck Shaw Stadium on the campus of Santa Clara University. It is a cozy facility (only seating about 10,000), but the atmosphere was great (it was a sold out game). Although the Quakes came away with 0-0 tie, the game was alot of fun to witness. My futbol buddy, my cousin H, and I went to eat at a place before the game called "Su's Mongolian Barbeque". An AYCE joint just minutes from Buck Shaw. A great way to kick-off futbol in Santa Clara!

We are working on our drumming so that we can keep up with the Casbah and Ultras booster groups. We seem to be the unofficial percusionists for the "chicken corner" (sponsored by KFC). The haltime contest was called "kickin' for chickin'". I wonder what Earthquakes intern came up with that one.

I am now refering to Buck Shaw Stadium as the "South Bay San Siro" (the San Siro being the home stadium for the mighty A.C. Milan in Italy).

NEXT GAME: Sat May 10 vs Columbus @ South Bay San Siro
