Meanwhile, the RSL podcaster Ethan Kershaw posted a video of another raccoon spotted on the concourse overpass, hanging above the spectators, who were walking below the pass. The video indicated that the raccoon falling through the roof wasn’t the only one present in the stadium.
The animal spotted at the concourse was reportedly captured and released by a creek, which was near to the stadium. Speaking of the game, the league officials decided to postpone the game until Friday, August 4, when the delay crossed the two-hour mark.
The Real Salt Lake announced that the tickets for the rescheduled match would be considered valid. Later, on Friday, the team clinched a 3-1 victory against Club Leon.
