Fans celebrating on the Gold Line. Go Metro!

Soccer fans crowded onto Gold Line platforms and trains on Saturday as they headed to the Rose Bowl in Pasadena to watch U.S. versus Mexico at the 2011 Gold Cup Championship.

Metro transportation planner Andres Di Zitti was working that night making sure crowds made it safely to and from the event – and he snapped these pictures of fans going Metro to the game.

And despite the U.S. loss at home (Mexico won 4-2), crowds were respectful and calm.
