Saracens Rugby Match and Chelsea Football Stadium Tour

Match Day: March 24th
Today about 8 of us Wisconsin kids went to see the Saracens Rugby team play in their brand new stadium in north London. The match was very...interesting :) I have no idea what the rules or strategies are in rugby, and neither did anyone else! But nonetheless, it was really fun! Here are a couple pictures from the freezing day:

Over my spring break some of us wanted to go see a Chelsea game, only to find that tickets were at least 75 pounds or higher. So, we decided to tour the stadium for a fraction of a ticket price instead! It was really fun, even though I don't know much about Chelsea football, or football in general. Here are the pictures!






Visiting changing rooms (this room is it - it was sooo tiny!) Our tour guide said it's the nicest of all visiting team changing rooms in their conference

The tub in the back is for ice baths




These lockers were amazing! The vent in the middle of that cubby is  scented with whatever perfume the player requests 




Since it is never sunny in London and the pitch is real grass, they have huge incubators that they use to help the grass photosynthesize so it can grow :)
