The stadium itself is state of the art. It holds almost 70,000 people and is very modern looking. Also connected to the stadium is a huge shopping mart, theaters, and a host of other restaurants. Ticket prices were 10,000, 30,000, and 50,000 Won respectively. We opted for the 30,000W seats which had a pretty good view of the field.
Korea ended up winning the game. Similar to my baseball games here, the fans are really loud and vocal which is really fun. Every time Park Ji-sung touched the ball everybody went ape.
Opening ceremony with the Korean band sporting some yellow hanboks.
The 'fan section' rocking a huge flag.
Game on!
Celebrations after the first goal.
A well placed corner kick to an Aussie's head.
I'm getting pretty excited for the World Cup next year!
When I saw the huge S. Korean flag it instantly reminded me of the final fight seen of "Best of the Best!" The original, with Chris Penn..
