A Damn Train Driving Through A Soccer Stadium In The Middle Of The Game Is One Of The Wildest Things I've Seen In Sports

Once again European soccer dominates American sports with outrageousness. Oh the Astros have a train that goes around after homeruns? Well, this Slovakian team has a damn steam train just driving through the middle of the fucking stadium as the game is going on. 

I actually love how the fans seem to embrace this. Just cheering on the train as it approaches like it's a sub coming on in the 60th minute. That's the difference I guess between European soccer fans and me. I'd be annoyed as shit trying to cheer on my beloved TJ Tatran Čierny Balog soccer club and I got a damn steam train obstructing my view. What if that's when the goal is scored? I don't see a Jerry World type screen for me to see the replay. I doubt cell service is great there. I gotta rely on someone telling me what happened or guessing. Yuck. Now if there's a row above where I can see the train and the game? Sign me up for that. That's the best viewing of a soccer game one can have. 

I gotta know if TJ Tatran Čierny Balog has an awesome nickname or something. You can't have a train coming through your stadium and not incorporate that. They don't have a Wikipedia so I have no idea if they go by something else or not. The team name Express is used in like all of travel baseball, that would work here. Give me something here. 

We really need more quirks in sports. Give me the hill in Houston's outfield again. Give me the Scottish golf course that's inside a horse track. I want more quirks like this train. Still one of the wildest things I've seen in sports.
