It was advertised that the game would be broadcast live on TWSN ; Time Warner Sports Network, but when I checked the TV guide it said a Buffalo Bison Baseball game was scheduled. Anyone know what is going on? Edit post: the 7/20 game not 7/30.
If the game is not on TV I guess I will have to Take a ride out there and buy tickets. Anyone hear if the International players will be back? Anyone know Seagar's injury status?
http://www.democratandchronicle.com...-home-Wednesday?odyssey=tab|topnews|text|Home The newspaper story indicates that Abby, Morgan, and Pinoe will "likely" be there, after a 2PM rally in Victor, NY. Also that more than 10K tickets to the game have sold. Awesome.
Stadium seats 13,500. They may add more bleacher seating. Get there early. First 1,000 get a Abby bobblehead. Parking will be tough.
That would be nice if there was a online feed. You would think that the league would find a way to let us watch one of the biggest matches of the year.
This was just posted on twitter: womensprosoccer Watch tomorrow's SOLD OUT #WNYFlash, #WPSmagicJack game LIVE from Sahlen's Stadium tomorrow night on #FOXSoccer! 7:30 PM ET. #WPSheroes
Yep. FoxSoccer picked up the game to broadcast tomorrow at 7:30. No word on webcasting. I'm guessing not. Time to check out your local watering hole if you don't have cable...
Roster report magicJack Unavailable: Christie Rampone, Hope Solo Questionable: Shannon Boxx Injured: Lindsay Tarpley Not rostered: Omolyn Davis, Ashleigh Gunning Western New York Flash Injured: Caroline Seger Not rostered: Ashleigh Bowers, Kim Brandao, Maurine, Alex Sahlen
Ok, it's on fox and this game will pull in well over $250,000 with tickets, food and merchandise but they can't get us a feed on the wps site. they can't possibly drop the ball on this one. Just put up google ads and that will easily cover the cost of the feed, give the hits could go will over 25000. as far as magicDan... 1 - 3 - 4 - 2 (abby and press) you should be able to make a game it with a sweeper (Rampone) if you watched your buddy, LIMA. Strong MF and don't really need 3 forwards up top since he can cheat his MF forward and masar is gone and press is hot. but no, he'll go with a 3-4-3 because that's the only way he knows how to play.

I agree, thank you so much for the link, the game sold out. They must not ever open up that upper deck on the bench side.
Yes, a Buffalo Bisons at Syracuse Chiefs baseball game will be shown on Time Warner Cable Sportsnet Buffalo-Channel 13. (Due to a rainout on Monday, its now a double-header - TWCSN Buffalo will show both games starting at 5:00 pm ET) However the soccer match will be shown LIVE on Time Warner Cable Sportsnet Buffalo's backup channel which is Channel 87. Time Warner Cable Sportsnet Rochester's main channel - Channel 26 - will be showing a Durham Bulls at Rochester Red Wings baseball game however since the game is now a sellout expect the soccer match to be shown on their backup channel which is Channel 98. Time Warner Cable Sportsnet Syracuse main channel - Channel 26? - will be showing the Bisons-Chiefs double-header. No word if their backup channel - Channel 1026 - will be showing the soccer match. If you get Time Warner Cable Sportsnet Albany - you are outta luck - they are showing the Bisons-Chiefs double-header and they don't have a backup channel. Of course if you don't get any of the Time Warner Cable Sportsnets channels - the match will be shown on Fox Soccer Channel. LB...
Huh? Every seat in the stadium along with special bleachers that were added has been sold for the game. So the upper deck on the bench side was open. LB...
They don't normally sell tickets for the upper level, but did for this game. Plus seven sets of bleachers in the open end as well as standing room only tickets (the open end of the suite level I would assume). An exact count isn't official yet, but they're hoping to break the single game league attendance record. They'll need to hit just short of 15k to do it, it'll be close.
Folks, when watching the game tonight please keep in mind that Abby played 120 minutes 3 days ago. Rapinoe played almost 120 minutes. The USWNT players are going on short rest, in hot weather, and are going to look tired and slower than normal. Remember when we, as USWNT fans, were really worried about the USWNT's short rest btwn the Brazil game and the France game? yeah. Throw in a transcontinental flight and the emotional exhaustion and low of NOT winning the WWC final. Just temper your expectations. Abby wouldn't even consider playing tonight if the game was anywhere but Rochester.
Yeah, I hope that Abby gets about 15 to 20 minutes to stretch her legs. Borislaw sounded non-commital on getting her out there. Great news. My daughter was a winner in a radio contest to meet the players and escort them out to the field. She is stoked and I am basking in the afterglow from my less than 100 words essay that got her the ticket. It's gonna be crazy. 15,000 people, hotter than hell, construction, a Redwings game three blocks away, post WWC welcome back to about a dozen players who played in Germany. Only four hours and 25 minutes to go until I can blow this popstand.
With the baseball game at the same time, parking is going to be an even greater adventure than usual. I am planning on my regular on-street (free) spot, but I'm going earlier than usual. When the attendance jumped from 2000 to 8000 last time Abby was here, a lot of folks were late getting into the stadium and missed the first minutes of the game. All of the media are asking people to come early - I hope they do. 15,000 is going to be awesome!
Hey, that's cheating! She was supposed to write it herself . Seriously though, good for her. The league needs every young fan it can get.
At the Freedom-hosted WUSA inaugural match, literally thousands of fans missed most of the first half because the folks at the ticket window weren't ready for the onslaught.
They can get 60-70 mins out of Abby just for the fans. Just let her do a Ronaldinho, just play from the 40 - the keeper walking, only run on scoring ops. Fans won't know the difference. Plus the game will be played in MJ's 50 away because 3-4-3 is the only way he knows how play. 3-4-2-1 (Abby talking to the keeper)
Slight chance of Abby playing, since she was playing in the WC with an injury. If you want to catch the game and dont have FoxSoccer watch it on the WPS website. They are streaming it! It's pretty hott down at Rochester, and I'm in line with many of people trying to get in.
Nice partial shout-out from the game's announcer regarding Lydia Vandenburgh and her time in Thailand after the 2005 tsunami, but the rest of the story is that she wasn't alone, but part of a group from the Charlotte Eagles organization, a part of Athletes In Action that uses soccer to minister to people at home and abroad.
