Soccer returns to New York this Sunday when the Red Bulls face FC Dallas in the first match of the 2012 regular season. If the weekend wasn't a good enough reason to throw a few adult beverages back before the sun goes down, you can meet up with a bunch of other Red Bulls fans at Legends (6 W 33rd St. between 6th and 5th avenues) starting at 1pm ET. They'll be showing the match live and offering up prizes, as well as food and drink specials throughout the day.

The match not only marks the first one of the season but also stands as the first Major League Soccer match to air on the NBC Sports Network (3pm ET kick-off).

If the bar atmosphere is just enough to get you fired up for the season, then nothing will put it over the top like the live-match experience. Join the other ravenous Red Bulls fans when New York hosts its home opener on Mar. 25 against the Colorado Rapids. Good tickets can be had for as little as $20. Buy them here!
