Real Salt Lake's match against Austin FC on May 14th celebrated the fifth Season Ticket Member Starting XI. The Starting XI is made up of season ticket holders who have been around since the very beginning. These loyal season ticket holders were recognized on the field postgame where they received a team signed RSL kit and a picture on the bench. Thank you to all of our season ticket holders for their dedication to the Club.
April Peterson: Section 37 row S seats 21-22.
You’ve been a season ticket holder since 2011, do you have a particular year that has been your favorite? Why?
"I love being a STH and have had many fun experiences with my family. Since I must choose a favorite year, I would pick 2011, my first year as a STH. I finally had my own seats, also had awesome STH's who sat near me, and the atmosphere in the stadium was so electric. I had my first on field experience in 2011, sadly that was the game Javier Morales was injured. It was also the year that One Republic played after the June 18th game, and my family and I were able to meet the band. I look forward to many more memories! #RSLTID #RSL4Life"
Devon Odgen: Section 11 GA.
What’s your favorite part about being a season ticket holder?
“My favorite part of being a season ticket holder is going to all of the games with my wife, kids, cousins, and their families. It is a great way to stay connected with our family.”
Carlos Cortez: Section 1 row N seat 12.
Favorite all time player and why?
"My favorite all time player is Javier Morales. I admired his composure, ball control, ability to set the tempo and find the best player/move to keep pressure on a defense. Wonderful player -- we call him El Maestro for many good reasons."
Ken Leyba: Section 36 row K seat 14.
What’s your favorite part about being a season ticket holder?
"Being at every home game, sitting in the same spot, around the same people and the resulting sense of family at each game"
Robert Rodee: Section 35 row D seats 12-13.
You’ve been a season ticket holder since 2011, do you have a particular year that has been your favorite? Why?
"Super happy to be part of the RSL family since 2011. Obviously, lots has happened in that time and it is pretty hard to pick a favorite year. But I would say that the 2013 year was pretty amazing. I got a +1 to all my games ever since and (probably the most important part) and we got all the way to the finals. It was a quality season. The fans in Section 35 are the best in the stadium!"
Tim Griffin: Section 34 row D seats 22-23.
What is your favorite part about being a season ticket holder?
"Our favorite part of being season-ticket holders is the amazing people we have met along the way that we now call family. My first game at the RIOT was back in 2010… and that just happened to be my third date with my now fiancé. A few games later I purchased season tickets and the rest is history. We instantly connected with our fellow season-ticket holders and we became a soccer family. We now look forward to south lot tailgates as well as getting together for away games and much much more! My season ticket purchase way back when was such a great decision, thank you, Real Salt Lake!"
Larry Osborne: Section 29 row G seats 19-25.
