Silverbacks' Tamed

Wubbya and I went to Silverbacks' Park last night to watch the Atlanta Silverbacks take on FC Tampa Bay.  Unfortunately, the home team was outmatched as the Rowdies beat the Apes 4-0.  The MVP of the game was Jimmy Maurer, the goalkeeper, because the score could have been much worse.  Maurer made several great saves, but he was left in horrible positions all night.  The Apes must improve their transition defense if they want to be competitve.  Additionally, Atlanta lacks offensive weapons and although they fail victim to bad refereeing, the team needs to focus on playing with the calls their dealt as opposed to arguing with the zebras.

This was my first time going to a Silverbacks' game and although they loss, the atmosphere and venue were top notch.  We sat on the second row at midfield, but it appeared that all the seats provided a great view of the action.  The fans were excited and passionated, and the employees were nice and helpful.  If you want low cost, but enjoyable professional sports, I suggest you check out the Atlanta Silverbacks.  They play the Carolina Railhawks on August 27, 2011; the Puerto Rico Islanders on September 3, 2011, and the Montreal Impact on September 24, 2011.  Kick off is at 7:30 p.m., except for the game against Montreal, it's at 7:00 p.m.  Go Silverbacks!
