Jeff Lancaster, known to many of you as the greatest guy in the world, went to our midweek Champs League match. Here’s his report on the trip…
Wednesday morning began with a flight from London to Brussels, Belgium for $3 return, plus taxes, making about $30 in all! 45 minutes after take off we arrived, and then hired a car to drive up to Amsterdam. An uneventful journey with not a lot to see on the way, and after arriving in the city and getting a hotel, it was straight down to the Amsterdam Arena to “check it out”. The stadium is situated on the outskirts of the city, and upon first sight it does look impressive. It’s very much, in my opinion, an “Americanised” stadium, purpose built, with good approach roads and parking facilities, and although not having been to any U.S. stadiums, it gives the impression of a “Kingdome” and similiar stadia.
