    The Copa Libertadores final is now a free agent match and looking for a location. Miami is among the rumored destinations.

    Wisconsin or Michigan would be perfect at this time of year.

    In the FIFA and Tournaments forum it was posted that it will be at Real Madrid. The Miami Dolphins are home that weekend.

    Los Angeles Coliseum, Los Angeles, CA
    Attendance: 55,839

    So a majority of the games over 40,000 were listed as opposed to being domestic league, and that's with Atlanta having the highest average attendance of a soccer club outside Europe. Four games with Mexico and the Chivas vs. Club America game got higher attendance than any game between two national teams other than Mexico.
