This past Thursday, Sporting KC of the MLS played in the grand opening of their new stadium, LiveStrong Sporting Park. Officially, the game was played to a scoreless tie against the Chicago Fire. Unofficially, however, the first goal in the stadium was scored by a fan who ran on the field dressed as a cow, and it was all caught live on ESPN2. (Note: video is not the best quality and we're not sure how long this footage will be available until it is taken down.)
Hey diddle diddle, the cat and the fiddle, the cow scored the goal of the night. Sorry, couldn't resist.
Naturally, stadium security doesn't take kindly to fans running onto the field, and he was dealt with appropriately. Here's the raw footage of what happened after he was caught.
This guy wasn't as fleet footed as the guy at the Houston Astros game. The cow costume probably slowed him down a bit. This guy's parents can't be too happy, but at least he didn't run out on the field naked.
Again, another lesson for you kids: please don't run onto the field.
