“It was a great experience for the kids,” former Bulldog player Adrian Campos said.
The seats were full and there was a strong sense of nostalgia as community members gathered to celebrate their school.
But among the crowd of soccer fans, there was one person who jammed.
“I came here thinking I was going to see the Black Eyed Peas,” said fan Javier Lujan. When you drive here and get your ticket, you know you’re here for a football game. ”
Confused, Lujan realizes that the concert is actually a halftime show.
The Black Eyed Peas weren’t the only band to distract fans. With the World Series against the Dodgers underway between the two schools, people like Andrew Rico recalled old memories while watching the Boys in Blue face off against the New York Yankees in the Fall Classic. .
