| Source:The Celebrated Misterk- a little ruckus between Rowdies and Earthquakes. Aw, so that's why they're called the Rowdies. |
"The Tampa Bay Rowdies defeated the San Jose Earthquakes, 3-0 in a North American Soccer League match on July 16,1980 at Spartan Stadium in San Jose, California."
From The Celebrated Misterk
The San Jose Earthquakes played on a short, narrow field, at Spartan Stadium, which was an American football stadium for the San Jose Spartans from San Jose University. Which made it a great place to watch soccer because the fans are so close to the game and action. But it presents challenges to for the offensive teams, to go along with the offsides rules which makes no sense in American sports. But the shorter, narrower fields at American stadiums make it harder for the offenses to move the ball. Plus, the field was so dry and beat up when the Earthquakes played in the NASL. They're really needed their own soccer stadium in the NASL and MLS today.
