Nick the Dick Mathews tweeted something to Canetti last night about hoping to go to a sellout game on Saturday or something similar. Pretty sure his twitter handle should be "Chron Douche"
They've been good this week. Feature in Ashe was good. Now, I'm guessing we don't come close to a sellout tomorrow so expect barbs about that
We should, but go on AXS and do a search and there are some excellent seats available in some quantity. Gonna have to move a lot of tix in the next 24 hours
Yep, but we are just past the halfway mark of tickets actually being on sale. And tickets to the general public have been on sale for 2 1/2 hours.
I actually heard people talking about the Dynamo today at work. That is a first. They didnt have their tickets yet. Also I noticed last saturday one of the better walk up crowds i have seen this year.
My coworkers know that I love to play soccer, and watch the Dynamo. They are serious gridiron guys, ex college linemen, and they have even contemplated on going to the match tomorrow. I guess the word is out!
Wasn't sure where to put this....it's not from the Chron, but a good read http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/24843600
Wow, so thats what a good soccer article looks like? Somebody please send it to Ortiz, maybe he can use it as boiler plate for his future writing.
Hey MLStwn, you need to ride your high white horse again and admonish Andy Edwards with your holier-than-thou statements and remind him that "wives, mothers and babies of players are off limits". While there are people with inappropriate WAG standards, there should be no rest for you! Houston Dynamo's Tally Hall isn't shy about showing his pride for wife's bikini contest prize | NOVEMBER 13, 2013 Andy Edwards MLSsoccer.com PS. Seriously now, the comments that people left are terrible.
That is between Tally and Edwards/mlssoccersoccersoccer.com. Hall tweeted it and they ran with it. Poor decisions on both their parts IMHO. Shame on Lalas and Borg and Freeman and the other editors for letting Edwards (someone with obvious allegiances to KC) use the league's webpage to blast that story when his team is up against Hall.
Boy howdy, Ortiz really dug deep to pen out that Eastern Confrence Final result. But I will take it! @#$*!!!
From all the criticism of not selling out games this year. Here is one for you: NFL should be alarmed that three of four playoff games, including Green Bay's home game, still not sold out http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-s...off-games-including-green-213137570--nfl.html
At the beginning of the season I was going to buy some tix for my son who is a major Texans fans. Forget it. The nosebleed seats were even outrageous, and you can't even see the game from them. With the price of nosebleed seats, traffic, and the inability to even read jersey numbers, I think it's better to just throw a party at the house.
This is the proverbial canary in the coal mine for the NFL. There are other factors at work here (like weather, late Sunday start time, most of fan base is not "local" within 50 miles, most STH passed on buying tix when team was fading, etc.) but the end result is that one of the most popular teams with a pretty hardcore fanbase is passing on paying exorbitant prices and dealing with the hassle and cold weather to go see a playoff game. This would be unfathomable 10 years ago. But between HDTV amd things like the RedZone channel, the TV experience is superior to the stadium experience for most.
I'd rather get Buffalo Wild Wings to go and have a party at the house than invest the 5-6 hours and dollars it takes to go to the Texans game. Not to mention the constant dealing with the drunks. This is something the Dynamo and MLS always need to work on and watch - how is the in-stadium experience? I think what helps soccer is the continuous action and basic two-hour event window. Nothing worse at a football game than the TV timeouts.
