*Note: I fell sick immediately after returning from the Vegas trip. While most of my writing may normally seem like the fever dreams of a madman, I didn’t particularly feel up to it until recently.
The Colorado Rapids traveled to Las Vegas on February 16th to play a couple of preseason games against Las Vegas Lights FC, a USL team whose first season was in 2018. I had the opportunity to travel down and see the afternoon matchup played live. The closed scrimmage resulted in a 3-0 win for the ‘Pids and in the open, 90-minute match, both teams walked away with two goals apiece.
