Chivas USA defender Jim Curtin returns to Chicago for the first time as a Chivas USA player this weekend as the Red-and-White face his former team, the Chicago Fire, Saturday at 5:30 p.m. PT at Toyota Park (HDNet, FSN West, KAZA Azteca 54 & 690 AM in Los Angeles).
Curtin spent seven years of his career playing for the Fire before joining Chivas USA during the off-season.
“I’m excited. I don’t know what to expect, to be honest… It’s going to feel weird walking to that stadium not knowing what kind of reaction you’re going to get from the crowd”, Curtin said.
“It’s going to feel funny to walk on the field and to have a different jersey on, because seven seasons is a long time no matter how you look at it. It’s going to be fun. I’m looking forward to meeting a lot of old friends, familiar faces. I’m excited.”
In the meantime, Curtin tries to relax on the trip with the help of his two reading materials: a copy of Sports Illustrated and a book on how to be a good parent. Curtin had his first child, daughter Ryan Marie, a few months ago.
