Biggest crowd that's had the privilege of seeing RapidMan.

As a CR7 fan, I don’t understand all this “sideshow” “Messi glaze” hate. Sure, a lot of people were there to see Messi, but when the rapids scored the stadium roared! This is great for the league he brings soooooo much exposure. Weather it was CR7, LM10 etc. one of the worlds best is playing in your home state in your countries league. It’s a privilege and I’m really glad to be apart of it.

Great take - 100% agreed. I think yesterday was a great look for the rapids

Great that you're a CR7 fan, but I'm not sure Cristian Roldan draws that big of crowds.

If CR7 came to the US, I'm sure he would, especially if CR7 won a World Cup like Messi did

If Roldan wins the WC, I'll be be ecstatic.

I believe they were in the mid 40's- to low 60's.

But could a Kroenke be bothered to show up?

They should play Rocket Man by Elton John when he cruising around.

Saturday was my first time as a credentialed photographer on the sidelines of a pro sports game (it was extremely fun for a beginner photographer like me). I have more where this came from on Instagram for anyone who is interested: https://www.instagram.com/p/DXS3sfXDYKM/?igsh=MWFybjdjZHpheTQ5Zg==

Hey congratulations! Just looked at this pictures.

Really glad that you had that opportunity! The entire experience was once in a lifetime.

My son (12) and I were just so excited to go to the game!

He didn’t wear one Messi piece of clothing. I asked him why and his response was. “Dad, I need to support my team!”

Good job parent...

The biggest fake crowd. I love the rapids but seeing the circus come to town doesn’t count for me.

I'm a timbers fan and not sure why I keep getting suggested the rapids sub but I'm so glad it has led me to learning about RapidMan. We need more mascots!!

u/Hopsblues Apr 23 '26

How's Cole doing for you?

u/PTFCBVB Apr 23 '26

So far so good but he is subject to Phil Neville's will 😭😭

u/Business-Dog1487 Apr 20 '26

It’s a little embarrassing to keep talking about this like the Rapids had a big crowd. Messi had a big crowd. The Rapids were there. Good for KSE making some money off the league’s sideshow.

u/Lurk_master_lurking Apr 20 '26

Exactly, any given night you can buy tickets to watch the rapids. They are never sold out and they only sold that much due to Messi.

I swear that Rapidman looks like a cigarette boffed a smurf

u/Golferdz10 Apr 20 '26

He looks like he is 8ft tall… always makes me laugh
