I just heard on 610 and found an article in the Chronicle. This is great news! It would be a dream come true to watch Ronaldinho play live, my mouth is watering alread There is no set facility yet but they will be playing against a team from the Mexican league. LINK
Wow!! This is freaking huge. I'm wondering how long it will take for these tickets to be sold out. My guess is FAST!!!
They're going to need to hold it at Reliant or Enron...i mean Minute Maid field because I don't think Roberston would be big enough. I think this game could easily draw in high 40's (thousands) if they get the word out!
I think it could be even higher than that depending on the team they play. If they get Club America or Chivas then I wouldn't be surprised if the crowed was in the 50-60K range.
I can guarantee it's a packed stadium just because it's EL Barca. I <3 I hope it's against América. Too bad Cuauhtémoc Blanco has had LEGAL TROUBLES in the EE.UU. (I think he still owes that dude he punched here in January 2004 about $200k ) If it is them, I'M ALL THERE.
In the past years, the stars do travel but do not play the entire match. They play limited minutes. Looks like Ronaldinho will be here but probably only see limited action. I just wanna see him play a half at least. FC Barcelona Tour WHo else is going to this? I got my tix and Brazil Ronaldinho jersey and cannot wait!
