United Kingdom of Red, The Old Trafford

It was a chilly yet sunny Saturday afternoon in October when I descended the platform of the Old Trafford Metrolink stop via the Altrincham line and headed straight towards Manchester United’s home ground down Sir Matt Busby Way.

But with the brand new, state-of-the-art facility the Red Bulls have built, it shouldn’t take long. The arena, new for the 2010 season, is intuitively designed, squeaky clean, and [...]

Comfort At University of Phoenix Stadium

Rising out of the Arizona desert, the University of Phoenix Stadium dwarfs the landscape.
