why did you guys play the game all the way in the outfield?

[FCCopaSoccer]

This is a minor league baseball stadium - they actually used most of the field (covered the base tracks, pitcher's mound and home plate w/ sod - the "browner" looking areas) - not quite full-sized field -- 110 x 70. They'll move to Rutgers Univ soccer stadium in a couple of weeks.

im saying, it must have been far away from the fans. like the front row seats must have been like 50 feet away from the field.

not too bad - it's a relatively small stadium - 6k seats. Probably 20 ft from front row - lined up slightly off the 3rd base line - 1 goal line on 1st base line; the other in far outfield

I was in the front row and our seats were probably 15-20 feet from the touchline. Great match!
