what do the Red Bulls have to do with the grass anyway. The grass is layed down for the international friendlies Wed/Sun. Is this a Red Bull event or who , Do the Red Bulls make money on this ?
Exactly. Another moronic move showing that MLS marketing teams are light years behind ever league in the world. Give away the grass field? If I won it, Id fu<kin' put the whole thing out in Giant Stadium parking lot and have a impromptu match out there with anyone who wants to participate.
The youth soccer organization I'm involved with would put the pitch to very good use. Fingers crossed.
