David Beckham visits the Metrodome

The biggest “thing” to hit the Metrodome in awhile was the arrival of David Beckham and the Los Angeles Galaxy to take on the Minnesota Thunder soccer team. Thousands of fans went to the Metrodome to see David Beckham do something exciting. He gave them what they wanted when he lofted a pass to Edson Buddle from 30 yards out, hitting Buddle in the chest and setting him up for an easy goal. It was the Galaxy's only regulation goal in a 1-1. The Galaxy went on to beat the USL's Minnesota Thunder in a shootout. Soccer has a definite following in the Twin Ciites, it’s not as big as football or hockey, but with there were plenty of fans at the Metrodome to see an exhibition soccer game, perhaps more fans than are at an NBA Timberwolves game these days.
