Ulsan Tigers

Today, my roomate Jessica organized a trip for we wayguk Ulsanites to go to Munsu Stadium in order to see the Ulsan Hyundai Tigers take on the Jeonbuk Hyundai team in a nationally significant match. I have loosely followed the exploits of Ulsan's soccer team, and know that they're actually quite a good team. Currently, they are battling for a spot in the Asian Champions League finals. But more so, in lieu of Ulsan having a local baseball team, I wanted to experience Ulsan's sports fanaticism in the only outlet available for Ulsanites: football (soccer). Munsu Stadium:














was built for the 2002 World Cup, hosted jointly by Korea and Japan, and thus is a fairly nice, new soccer stadium. Unfortunately, there weren't many fans who showed out for this match, only the diehard Ulsan fans:














and others who had nothing better to do on a Sunday afternoon. I enjoyed myself fully with my wayguk friends, Jessica, Brandon, and Melissa. The match itself was fairly uneventful. Ulsan made a few serious tries towards the end of the second half, but it ended in a 0-0 draw.














Hopefully, the Tiger's will fare better in the second leg of their Champions League semifinal. All in all, it was a fun outing to another of Ulsan's 12 designated scenic areas. ULSAN HYUNDAI!!!
