I went with my friend Mark, seen in the photograph above, to watch Leeds United play Harrogate Town at Denver's DNVR Bar with the Leeds United Colorado Supporters yesterday morning. It was an Emirates FA Cup match, once one of the most prestigious soccer tournaments in the UK, and Bo, the head of the group, hoped to get 100 people to DNVR to watch the game. And I think he succeeded. Virtually every seat in the house was taken, and Leeds won the match by a score of 1-0. This group is a friendly bunch, and one couple even gave up their seats to Mark and me (probably due to my advanced age) so that we could sit in front. Everyone was in a great mood, especially since Leeds dominated most of the game. DNVR Bar is a popular place to watch sports in Denver and was featured on the local television news last Sunday when it was packed with Broncos fans watching the final game of the season. It looked like it was pretty wild there, and I suspect it will be even wilder today when the Broncos play their first playoff game in 9 years. Be there or be square, as we hipsters say. Otherwise, see you at the next Leeds soccer match.
