Jeju United- Futbol AKA Soccer

Here in Jeju they have a football team or as we westerners like to call it, soccer. It is a pretty great deal actually. You go to the game and pay for a bright orange t-shirt that has the team name on it. It cost you about 1,000 Won which is about $1. After that you get into every home game for free! It gets even better because you can bring any outside food and drinks that you want into the stadium. So everyone goes to the place called E-Mart, which is sort of like a Wal-Mart, and grabs food and beer before the game.

The stadium is amazing. Jeju hosted the 2002 World Cup so the local soccer team has the World Cup Stadium as their home field. It is awesome.

Even though the event is pretty much free, there are still not a lot of supporters that come out. All of us foreigners are loved by the Koreans because we are loud and do all the cheers and chants that they teach us. We of course love going because it is a good time and costs us near to nothing for a few hours of entertainment. There are Korean fans there that have giants flags. I took a picture of one of them that was close to us. He was actually a lot closer to me then the picture makes it look. I was a little nervous that he was actually going to hit me! Ha ha ha. I have more pictures that I will try to post. The season runs through September sometime.
