To the Crew? nothing unless our facilities and field are top notch and it gets players talking about how nice it is to play there. To Columbus? Economic benefit of teams (and potentially some fans) staying in our city.
I assume the Crew would get a decent chunk of cash for renting out its facilities to a national team. It's not as though we'd just hand them the keys to the place for free.
I'd assume: Whatever national team at Ohio Health. Crew players not called up and everyone else in the system moves downtown. Everything is easy access when you have the full support of CPD's Harley-Davidsons. Do we really think their team buses will stop for red lights and get stuck in traffic next to extremely passionate (possibly psychotic) fans?
Anyone thinking about going to any of the recently announced USNNT friendlies in March or May/June? Thinking it might be my best bet to see the US this summer and not require a mortgage. Opponents look pretty good, just thinking about buying now vs waiting and hoping take prices crash the week of.
The hope is that US Soccer should be very shortly announcing how they are going to allocate their allotment of tickets. I've heard some hints here and there but don't want to spread any rumors until details are known. A lot of the other countries though are starting their sales to fans starting later this week so hopefully we hear something shortly.
We were five rows from the field in the corner--and that was the lowest category available. But really steamy (the Germany-England game the year before was worse).
Yep. It resulted in a long running family joke. If you want a goal, get me to go to the concession stand. I missed Klinsmann's goal because Mrs. KG badly needed water, as it was so hot inside that day.
Why were England and Germany playing in Detroit the year before the ‘94 WC? Was it a cash grab friendly??
It was basically to ensure that the system that was to be used to get real grass in the stadion actually worked.
