    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.

    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 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 :D) If it is them, I'M ALL THERE.

    Hey I heard none of the star players ever come to play for these things. Is that true? :mad:

    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!
