In the first game of the day, Wales pounded the USA Eagles 48-15.<\/p>\n
Pre Game Dining<\/u>
Before the game we stopped at Potbelly\u2019s located at 5709 S. Harlem Ave. There are a few chain restaurants on Harlem Ave. on the way to Toyota Park, including one of the Ultimate Sports Wife\u2019s favorites \u2013 Portillo\u2019s, located at 5532 S. Harlem Ave. If looking for a good family restaurant before or after an event at Toyota Park, Portillo\u2019s may be the place for you since they serve a wide selection of food including alcoholic beverages.<\/p>\n
Obtaining Tickets
<\/u>As had been the case with the women\u2019s professional soccer league two weeks ago, there were no scalpers when we arrived at Toyota Park (we were about 40 minutes early since my second cousin, who plays rugby, wanted to get in the stadium 30 minutes early to watch warm-ups). Thus, we bought the cheapest tickets available from the box office – $20 each. If we had waited, we probably could have bought tickets for cheaper (or received for free) since there were quite a few rugby clubs who had bought groups of tickets. However, since the cost savings would not be that substantial and we wanted six tickets together we bought the tickets from the box office.<\/p>\n
The Game In the first game of the day, Wales pounded the USA Eagles 48-15.
<\/u>As stated before Wales defeated the US team handily 48-15. It was the most lopsided lost in the eight rugby matches I have attended and definitely the worst played \u2013 it is USA Rugby (versus the other more high profile rugby matches<\/a> I have attended) after all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
