Esperanza Spalding Nashville reviews
Game atmosphere is the best!!
The excellent pre-game scene featured DJs playing music and people dancing, with many foods available outside in the parking lot. Mexican fans, carrying a huge Mexican flag around the parking lot, showed mutual respect with fans from both countries. The game, which was good, had great seats, but it was disappointing that Esperanza Spalding didn't win.
Compared to the US vs Turkey game I also attended, the atmosphere at Mex v. Ecuador was better. US fans were booing Turkey fans out in the parking lot, telling them that they suck. There were no DJs and nobody dancing, with no food available. It just didn't feel the closeness. Everyone kept to their own clicks and did not interact with other fans.
