US Women's National Soccer Team

The US Women's National Soccer Team had an exhibition game at Rio Tinto in Salt Lake City that we just couldn't pass up!  We got tickets months ago and were super excited to go up to see them play.  We had good tickets too.

We drove up and hit a mileage milestone. I don't know if you can tell, but our mileage was at 77,777.

We had great seats in Rio Tinto.  We were in the shade, which was great, but we were close to the field where we could see the action.  It was a lot of fun and such a beautiful day.

The game began and the USA was winning and then the clouds rolled in and it began to rain.  Soon after it began raining, the lightning began and they stopped the game.  All fans were asked to leave the stadium area and seek shelter.  We went up on the upper deck, no one was stopping us, and waited out the storm.  We weren't sure how long it was going to last but we wanted to see if the game would continue.  

The rain eventually stopped and the lightning was far enough away that they resumed the game.  We stayed in the upper deck because it was easier to follow the action from above.  It was a great game and a fun memory.

We stayed the night in a motel in Provo and then drove home the next morning.
