What does taking in a soccer game at Livestrong Sporting Park do to you? It's like marveling at the Grand Canyon, experiencing the grandeur of Niagara Falls or seeing Jesus in a grilled-cheese sandwich. It changes you, man. It changes you. OK, fine, it's not really a life-altering experience. But it's pretty freakin' great. The ultramodern facility feels like a cocoon — a cocoon with free wireless Internet, hundreds of TV screens and fans fiddling with tablets. Amazingly, though, the technological touches don't make the building feel like the cold setting of a sci-fi film. The futuristic elements are balanced by the warmth created by the fans, especially the rowdies in the Cauldron. Throw in diverse dining options, free parking and a top-quality soccer team, and LSP is the best place in town to watch sports. Even if soccer isn't your bag, it's worth making a pilgrimage to see this gem. But, please, don't throw any bobbleheads onto the field.
