. . . and the skies are Chelsea blue . ..

What a relief after all those gloomy forecasts! It’s 6:00, two full hours before the match begins and Camden Yards is jumping. Tailgate parties along Raven Walk, Gate A and Lot O began filling up an hour ago, and there is a steady stream of pedestrian traffic strolling down Eutaw Street towards M&T. Hope the weather stays clear and beautiful as it is now.

An observation – these fans are like Red Sox Nation. They travel in costume. I’m wondering if they are going to get seated that way. I don’t know if they stated a preference on their ticket requests. It will be interesting to see if the Milan partisans are randomly scattered among Chelsea’s. Not like they could blend in with those black and red kits.

Lots of energy, and no hooligans. Should be a great night.
