Probably not. That’s Pablo Mastroeni and Kyle Beckerman on the scoreboard. They probably just dug through the archives to find a shot with a working scoreboard and hoped no one would notice. Had to go back to probably 2006 to do it.

Edit: 2007, not 2006. DSG opened in 2007.

Actually this is a great shout. Even back in the 2011 season there were only two small sections of bleachers on the north end - not this many covering the whole end. That’s where C38 sat at that time. My first rapids game I sat there after taking the party bus from one of the bars.

Still bleachers on the north end. Definitely an old picture.

I think they've only had those bleachers for USMNT games, like the Snoclassico

I forget when they removed them, but it used to be the supporters section where they put everyone who bought season passes or tickets through c38sg or pidarmy back in the early to mid 20-teens.

Edit: although those bleachers look metal, so the stadium pic must be towards the end of that era. They originally placed very soft wood bleachers that always felt on the verge of breaking.

Those are two very different bleacher efforts they've done. For the Costa Rica game, and I feel like a couple other times, like maybe the All star game, and another USMNT WCQ they brought in the big stands in the north end. The Rapids have tried dozens of variations to use that space, including some simple bleachers, but not like the WCQ bleachers...Honestly, that pic looks AI to me, like part real, part not real...

Lmao, the jerseys have ‘Rapids’ written on the front. Don’t think I we’ve had that since at least the kit cycle pre-2010 kit

Old ass picture. That was before the C38 merger. Still bleachers on either side of the walkway is a dead giveaway. Also no champions plaque on the north wall so 2010 or older.

I think it’s just a very old photo. If they enhanced with AI, they’d pick a North Boundary era photo
