On Tuesday, November 1, the Colorado Rapids’ first annual awards gala was held at Kevin Taylor’s Opera House in Denver. If you missed it, I would highly recommend going next year if you can - there was basically an open bar (wine and beer was free, but you could buy other drinks), delicious food, and the opportunity to rub elbows with the players. The venue was really nice, and everything was well-organized.
Rapids President Tim Hinchey said, “I think most clubs, especially the clubs overseas [and I spent a little time of there], they take a moment of reflection at the end of the regular season, regardless of where they go, and they get the players together, the staff together, the sponsors together, and they just celebrate the season no matter what.
