Help please! Want to take wife to our first Fire game

[Omar]

Hello everyone,

So, I'm coming back into town for a 3 week break from school. I'm not really (or at all?) a soccer fan, but knowing how my wife embraced my childish and meatball behavior whenever the Bears play, I'm wanting to do something nice for her by taking her to her first soccer game (or do they call it a match?). Although she did not grow up a football fan, she is now a huge Bears fan. So, because she loves soccer, I know she would be ecstatic if she found out I want to take her to see the Fire play in person.

This is where I need help from you guys. Can anyone recommend me good seats that won't cost me an arm and a leg? How early should I plan on going to avoid traffic and congestion? How's the parking situation? Any other suggestions?

Thank you everyone in advance!

- Omar

I'd recommend the Corner Kick seats, $28 for the game.
The traffic gets bad, gates open 2 hrs before the game IIRC.
Parking is a fee and it is gravel in a lot of places, but if you get there at a reasonable time, you should have no problem parking.

I'd recommend that before or after the game you head south on Harlem to 82nd and go to Duke's Drive Inn. Great Fries, Dogs and Italian Beef Sandwhiches.
