I've brought the idea up of a trip to Mexico City for the WCQ - but it turns out all my friends are lilly-livered. My wife I kind of figured. But grown men?
Dude, you could turn this trip for x-tra credit. Aren't you the Editor or some such for the OU daily? Go on assignment and cover the game !
thats a great idea! although i dont work for the daily i work for the yearbook and im not the editor im just a sports writer, but I might be able to find some way that it relates to ou
HAH. Yeah - I need to make an US away game. This is as good as it gets outside of a World Cup. I will keep my eyes peeled for packages / tickets. Why the hell not?
Yeah, you may have a point there. No real man would miss out on soccer because "Ooh, it's played in Fair Park."
Fair Park? Ha! The neds in Hamilton make the gangsters in Fair Park look like girl scouts trying to sell cookies.
Ok I have started doing a price search for airline tickets and hotel packages and here is what I found. Keep in mind this is for one adult and airfare is going to be the main expense. Fri, Mar 25 Dallas/Ft Worth, TX (DFW) to MEX (Mexico City, Mexico) 8:30am to 11:05am Nonstop Mon, Mar 28 Mexico City, Mexico (MEX) to DFW (Dallas/Ft Worth, TX) 7:25pm to 9:55pm Nonstop TotalTripsm Price $518 Per person $518 In the search was airline+hotel and the prices varied, but it was some what consitant. $518-847 for 4 days/3 nights and the best part, TotalTrip price includes entire hotel stay, round-trip flights for all the travelers, and all taxes and fees. The hotels are betwen 1 star and 4 star in case you were wondering.
That's more or less what I found as well but I was planning on returning on Easter instead of Monday. Now that CONCACAF realizes the mistake for scheduling WCQ on Easter weekend I'm hoping that the match will be on a Saturday. I am also waiting on what Soccer Vacations, USSF, and Sam's Ejercito have to say.... before I commit. $100.00 per night and $250 for air fare is about my guesstimate !
I was guessing when I did it, but I have heard rumors it was not going to be at Azteca. Oh yeah this was from Travelocity.
I wish it would be in Guadalajara. I've never been to Jalisco. I sincerely doubt that the MEX Fed would want to miss on a Big pay day and not having it in Azteca; besides, the black eye that they received since the osama debacle in the Olympic Q. may not want to be replicated.
