There’s a Blizzard coming to Colorado
As I passed the venerable Denver Coliseum while whizzing down I-70 the other day, I saw what looked like a soccer ball on the electronic marquee, alongside the words ‘Colorado Blizzard’. I had no idea what it was. Considering it was being advertised on the coliseum, I considered the possibility that an indoor soccer team had come to Colorado.
My last memories of indoor soccer are also my first: when I was in sixth grade, my friend and his mother took me to see the Los Angeles Lazers of the long-defunct Major Indoor Soccer League. I remember little Eastern European dudes running around, and that we went to El Pollo Loco before the game. There may also have been nachos involved.
