FIRE IN THE HOLE! RED BULL PARK!

By: Dave Martinez | July 25th, 2007

So, when we are beating the living bejeezus out of the likes of Scum and Revadouchanary’s league wide in Harrison Park, will we have to keep the noise level down? No feet stomping?

Why do I ask?

Well, if we are too loud, we might set off one of these:

As per NJ.com:

Military ordnance shuts down Red Bulls construction site
Construction workers building the new Red Bulls soccer stadium in Harrison today found an old piece of military ordnance, said Peter Higgins, the head of the town’s Redevelopment Agency.

Higgins said the Jersey City Bomb Squad was called and took the item away before turning it over the Army. He said construction was shut down for the day and will resume tomorrow.

He did not elaborate on what was found; military ordnance is generally defined as weapons, ammunition or other equipment.

Higgins said he believes it is a World War II era piece of equipment but had no other information.

On Friday, a 20-year-old rocket launcher was found in a yard in the Jersey City Heights and turned over to the Army. Officials said that weapon was used for training purposes only and was not operable.

==========================================================

Events like this in a clubs history usually lead their way to an interesting Stadium nickname later on. Look at Boca – they have 2 names! One, la Bombanera, because it looks like a little box of chocolates. The other, El Bostero, since it was once the site of pure cow manure.

So what clever nickname can we give RBP?

The Crater?

Fort Red Bull?

Arsenal NJ?

The BOMBenera?

Sorry, I love this story. Its hilarious.
