After seeing this post from Paul Sotoudeh on social media, we asked if we could republish it here, and he graciously agreed. Paul has been a member of the Screaming Eagles since 1997 and was the group’s president from 2007 to 2011. He’s been on the SE executive committee since 2001 and currently serves as the group’s gameday operations chair.
Sunday was bittersweet. The end of an era at a place I (and many others) spent the better part of the last two decades inhabiting and making our own. RFK Stadium was a special place for soccer for so many reasons, not the least of which was the culture we created as supporters both inside the stadium and outside in Lot 8.
