The 1980s will come alive at the Quakes game this Saturday, May 19 as San Jose takes on D.C. United at 7:15 p.m. at Avaya Stadium, presented by Gyft. As part of Retro Night, the Quakes will offer fans many activities from the 80s, starting at pregame and extending to the post match festivities.
The first 5,000 fans that arrive on Saturday will receive an Anibal Godoy sweatband, an accessory that was a vital part of any workout routine circa 30 years ago. Once fans are in the stadium, the 7UP Epicenter will be home to some of the most iconic throwbacks from the decade.
