BRIDGEVIEW, Ill. – Chris Rolfe took in the moment on Sunday after his first game at Toyota Park in almost three years.
While his teammates gathered at midfield to celebrate their 3-1 win over the New York Red Bulls, Rolfe trotted toward Section 8 behind the north goal, his hands alternating between clapping and raised in a victorious manner. He hugged several fans who had been clamoring to see him make his first home appearance of 2012, and he came out of the scrum with a blue scarf around his neck.
“They’re fans that I haven’t seen in a long time,” Rolfe, who was drafted by the Fire in 2005, said. “But they’ve always been there to support me. That was pretty cool.”
