As you all undoubtedly know by now, Real Salt Lake was – sadly – bounced from the MLS Cup Playoffs last Thursday, losing to Seattle Sounders FC at Rio Tinto Stadium to drop the Western Conference Semifinal series 0-1 on aggregate.
While the team obviously didn’t get the result it wanted on Thursday night, 19,657 great RSL fans put in yet another fantastic performance in a season that was chock full of them. You were great all year long –the below numbers just highlight that.
Thanks for all the love RSL fans. We’ll see you back at Rio Tinto in 2013.
