DC is really unlikely to have any games due to baseball. Although, my ticket rep did offhandedly mention something about games at the Naval Academy. I don't know what kind of atmosphere you'd have there, but the small size would virtually guarantee that if tickets were offered first to DCU season ticket holders, they would likely be sold out via the private sale. Anyway, I don't really expect that to happen.
Naval Academy? hmmm.. DC season ticket holders, "friends of US Soccer", Navy officers. If you get Navy officers there, you could have a VERY cool setting. (keep in mind, I have no idea of the field, stadium, etc. there, but the idea does intrigue me.)
This is steller!!! Make it required attendance and presto a Pro-US crowd. Or you can play the game at the AF Academy in Colorado Springs. Or at West point. As an aside, have the all Serice Soccer Title game played afterwards.
Mexico-- Hartford (or even colder if February-- Detroit, an outside Stadium in Minnesota, etc.) Guatamela-- Denver (isn't guatemala almost all at sea level) Costa Rica-- Seattle T & T-- Kansas City Panama-- Pittsburgh
That's just too cool! Just when Mexico thinks they've got the Yanks figured out, Mexico finds themselves playing the US in a WCQ match at the US Naval Academy. I like it!
People on here just don't get it. Matches will be played at facilities owned by boardmembers of the USSF. That means Stadiums built by Kraft, Hunt and Anshutz will host qualifiers. RFK is a great soccer venue, but I doubt the USSF wants to help out the DC sports commission until a SSS is built in DC.
I don't recall the US playing Panama at the University of Maryland. The match against Honduras in the last Hex was also played at RFK, by the way.
Frisco and HDC did not exist during the last WC qualifiying cycle. RFK will be used as a baseball stadium. As for the Honduras game at RFK, that was one of the biggest fiascos ever.
