Real Salt Lake: Sizing up Rio Tinto Stadium vs. rest of the league

Media Guide Note— Surrounded by 24 fully lit professional soccer fields. Anchors the 917-acre Prairie Gateway site that is a public-private partnership between Kroenke Sports Enterprises and Commerce City.

RSL midfielder Kyle Beckerman's take — "It's a nice stadium. Again, the way you come out isn't right. When you see the European stadiums and you'd rather come out in the middle of the field. the grass is really nice, it's similar to this. It's pretty far out there and they have a tough time getting fans. You can't see it off the highway."

Media Guide Note— Located at Exhibition Place in Toronto, it is Canada's first soccer-specific stadium and is home to Canada's first MLS franchise and the Canadian National Team.

RSL midfielder Kyle Beckerman's take — "It's a nice stadium, but it's the fans that make the stadium. It really has a European feel how it's packed every game the way they're singing and chanting. The only thing is they don't have grass, it's that turf. It's great atmosphere up there."
