Can someone please explain how this Soccer ball relay from Naperville to Chicago work? I mean, seriously.
It will work somewhat like the Olympic torch relay. The relay will start in Naperville and end at Soldier Field, each participant will dribble a soccer ball and relay the official game ball that will be used in the October 10th match at Soldier Field. I think I heard that in some cases (downhill and uphill) a goalie option will be utilized so they can use their hands to navigate that part of the course. I am pretty sure there are openings still available to become part of this event. Hey, we are BACK in CHICAGO, I'd walk on my hands and knees just so we can leave Naperville and get to the Stadium. I was in the stadium during construction and it will really be awesome to watch a match there.
