Game days in Tijuana are absolutely, unequivocally insane. The culture clash of the United States of America's biggest sport hitting the Mexican border city creates an atmosphere that is a beautiful blend of love, mystique, drunkenness, and semi-organized violence. My first home game I thought Tijuana was rioting. Now I understand that while this intense party is chaotic, it's all done as a community and helps bring a town that's had its trouble closer together.
When you arrive you will see groups of people playing full contact tackle football in the street. You will smell the food people cook on the tailgates, food that can rival any 5 star chef in the U.S. you will hear loud mariachi bands seemingly perfectly spaced apart so that there is always loud, joyous music but it never clashes. You will feel the heat from the flames lit no matter how hot it is. These large fires lit throughout the city are meant to keep away opposing teams fans through a mixture of fear and self preservation. If you can't take the heat, they know you don"t belong in Tijuana.
All of this continues in stadium. all of it. No police or security crew will dare try to calm the place down, nor would we let them. There are however multiple fire crews that remain fairly active from whistle to whistle. Our amazing fans come armed with laser pointers and insults a combination a have seen make many opposing players cry. The best part is that there isn't a single person without their very own luchador mask on.
