Soccer, or football, puts its emphasis on the human foot, largely to keep it safe now that delinquent hands are using real rocks, paper, and scissors in their games. Keep feet from falling in with a bad crowd with this deal to see the Charleston Battery play at Blackbaud Stadium on Daniel Island. Choose between the following options:

• For $10, you get two tickets for bleacher seating in sections E1–3 or E8–10 (a $20 value).
• For $20, you get four tickets for bleacher seating in sections E1–3 or E8–10 (a $40 value).<p>

This deal is valid for any home game during the 2012 regular season, but all tickets must be used at the same time. See the season schedule for upcoming matches.

Led by the Scottish midfielder Nicki Paterson—who scored a team-high seven goals in his first 12 games this year—the Charleston Battery roster defends the home turf against rivals from the United Soccer Leagues. Named after the military fortifications that once protected the Carolina coast’s precious stores of AAA batteries, the club transports Europe’s fast-paced, strategic brand of soccer across the Atlantic, competing fiercely throughout the season and hosting annual exhibitions with teams from the English Premier League. Even their home pitch, Blackbaud Stadium, channels the vibes of British football stadiums, incorporating clear sight lines and, of course, an English pub, The Three Lions.
