There’s nowhere quite like Al Lang. The old bones of that mythical stadium probably never expected to house one of the most historic soccer clubs in America when it was built in 1947. Yet, there we all were last night. Back in a stadium that survived a hurricane. Carrying a torch for the Rowdies. Tifo up high, smoke bombs in hand, and drums beating louder than a thousand hearts. It’s the only way to do it when your club turns 50—one of the very few teams in the country that can say so. On the bus, we met fans who’d been around since the very first game back in 1975. Some families who stopped by had been supporters for three generations. Others found the Rowdies when they moved to the area recently, and now they’re in charge of painting tifos and flags. It makes you proud to be in their presence. People actively carrying a storied legacy into the future. We’re honored that for this Open Cup evening, they let us be part of something so tangibly timeless. 📸: gabrielbayonas #usl #rowdie...
