Kaye Ogden: Section 30 row A seats 11 and 13
Who is your all-time favorite player?
"It’s hard to pick an all-time favorite player! We’ve had many players who made their presence known on the field and off, by serving our community and fans!
Kyle Beckerman was probably my favorite. His leadership on the field was always felt! He controlled the game and always stepped in to defend his teammates! He is an important part of our community and loves Utah and our scenery!"
Andrew Sharon: Section 28 row A seats 24-25, 29, 3-6
Who do you attend games with and what is your favorite memory with them?
“I bring lots of friends and family members to games, and I try to get as many different people as possible to these games. I've been able to introduce several new fans to the game, and some of them are now die hard RSL fans It is hard to pick which memory is the best. My seats have always been right behind the north goal, so I was definitely spoiled to see the masterful work of Rimando up close. One downside with those seats is catching stray shots, but the way that RSL treated my nephew when that happened was absolutely amazing. Kreilach ran over with a signed Silva jersey, and my nephew got to hang out with Dunny in the press box. But the best memory must be back in 2013 when some of my friends and I went to the cup final in Kansas City. We may have nearly frozen to death and did not get the result we wanted but traveling with die-hard fans into hostile territory in one of the hardest fought games against a rival is a highlight that I will never forget."
Trevor Gettelman: Section 1 row N seat 11.
If you could pick any 3 RSL players to have dinner with which ones would you pick and why?
"Aaron Herrera: I have watched Aaron grow with the team; he is my favorite player. His talent and work ethic really stand out. His ability to shut down players is truly entertaining. Everton Luiz: Again, I really value work ethic and Everton is outstanding in this area. This freight train of a guy can run about the field all day long and keep on going. Extremely talented at shutting down players and never let's someone get away with making him look foolish (never lets anyone get away with anything). Justin Meram: I've always admired Justin and felt like he has a lot of talent. It took a while for him to gel with the team and I'm glad he has done so. Getting him more integrated with the team and support for his talents has made a big difference in the teams play."
Robert and Travis Hurst: Section 37 row ADA seat 5-6.
Which RSL player (of all time) has the best goal celebration?
"I would say Damir Kreilach and Javier Morales."
Mathew Barrett: Section 4 row D seats 18-19 & row C seats 19.
What is your favorite RSL memory thus far?
"There are so many favorite moments. The Julio goal to beat LA last year was amazing. But truly, nothing compares to the moment we got to celebrate the Rocky Mountain Cup with the team and holding that trophy."
Sandra Haak: Section 204 row D seats 17-18.
Who is your favorite all time player and why?
"It's hard to choose my favorite player of all-time. My favorite players are Nick Rimando and Kyle Beckerman. I like both for their leadership and dedication to the game and the RSL team. It was fun to watch both players develop over the years and become the great consistent players they were at retirement."
Tricia Giles: Section 4 row C seats 16-18
If you could choose the starting lineup for the next match, who would you choose?
"Cordova, Wood, Savarino, Chang, Ruiz, Loffelsend, Brody, Glad, Silva, Kablan, MacMath"
Justin Meyerhoffer: Section 28 row C seats 1-2
Rob Moffitt: Section 37 row N seats 8-9
Jared McDougal: Section 21 row v seats 11-14
Shannon Duncan and Troy Oberg: Section 22 row m seats 21-22
