My brother-in-law, Aaron Grenz, my nephew Karsten and I took a quick weekend trip to Chicago for my first MLS Soccer game at
Toyota Park, home of the
Chicago Fire. I have been a fan of
D.C. United since the beginning of the MLS, so this was a good chance to visit the Fire's new, soccer only stadium.
D.C. United won the game 1-0.

Toyota Park.
Toyota Park is a 20,000 seat soccer only stadium built in 2006. The stadium was simple but quite beutiful, with great views of the Chicago skyline to the north and every seat with a great view of the game.
Here was our view (at kick off) from the second level where we caught all of the action from mid-field.
The Chicago skyline to the north of the stadium.
Here is a picture of the only goal that was scored off of a corner kick. It is hard to see the ball, but the player who scored (he goes simply by the name of "
Fred") is in the blue jersey in the bottom right hand of the picture.
