On Saturday we went to a Chivas soccer match at their new stadium that was built 3 months ago. This is by far the most modern building we have seen in Mexico thus far. The locals here adamantly describe Chivas as the best soccer team in Mexico, and they do have a list of Championship titles to prove it; though it was interesting to find that half of the stadium was empty. However, they were not able to pull out the win and they tied San Luis 1-1. We were expecting more insane spectators but the ones that did show up were causing a raucous in a section away from us. Apparently we were not in on the secret section for the crazy fans or we would have joined them. This section of fans must have a reputation because there were many police officers walking around the stadium in riot gear with heavy duty armor making them look like Robo Cop or Terminators from the future, pretty intimidating looking dudes.
