I'm thinking about heading down to Tucson to catch some of these games. Anyone out there have any tips or recommendations?
I think RSL has some info on their website. Oh and I hope you catch a cold and theres a freeze while you are there.
Tickets on sale from Tucson FC website. It's a baseball stadium, they've adapted. Looks like best seats are behind benches, behind the one goal or on the field ($$$ bleachers). I'm going to the last day with the double-header. First time to go see it, so all I know was gleaned from Desert Diamond page.
It's the stadium where the Tucson Padres (same conference as the SL Bees) play. Video from last year showed good turn outs to the games, and it looked like they adapted the stadium quite well.

RSL just confirmed that FW Peri Marosevic and MF Khari Stephenson are both in camp with RSL...Marosevic is starting up top in this game against Demark U-20.
RSL starting XI vs Denmark U-20's: Fernandez; Granger, Salcedo, Watson-Siriboe, Palmer; Martinez; Grossman, Viana; Morales; Lopez, Marosevic
A few interesting things from this lineup: - Enzo starting at d-mid. - Academy kid Benji Lopez starting at striker. - Hermione Granger from the Harry Potter books starting at outside back. - Morales starting in what is clearly a 3rd- or 4th-choice lineup.
Big signing? He's a refugee from TFC who then went to the Croatian second division. No way is he the big signing - just a trialist.
Goal Danes...PK. Apparently Viana got called for a soft one in the box. 1-0. On the positive side, that confirms that Viana made it all the way back to his own box.
This is what RSL should be doing. We're not Man United. We're not shopping for talent, we're somewhere between that and bottom fishing. Get hungry people on the pitch - some may pan out. Doesn't absolve the FO of signing our "big target" but it's also an essential part of RSL growing its base.
Yep, there's always next year. Oh, and I think we can lay the disaster of 2013 squarely at the feet of Sabo.
Second half lineup: Attinella, Martinez Schuler Maund Mansally, Yordany Stertzer Seba Stephenson, Allen Sandoval
Are you saying he looks really good due to his fitness, or are we talking looks? New haircut? Porn stache? Shiny boots? If it's legs, you better post a pic for LB. Come on, we need some qualifiers for this statement!
