    Great job by the FO… I’ve seen improvements since Kris has come aboard on the ticket side and this is a great olive branch to the NTX soccer community from the organization. I will be sharing the info with all the soccer teams I play with and I encourage everyone else to do the same. Hopefully they will make it a great event and attract some new fans.

    True about Kris. As Buzz noted earlier, at the Advisory Board Meeting yesterday Kris told us that they’d been monitoring things and didn’t want to pull the trigger too early in case any other locales stepped up to spring for it.

    It was a matter of being patient and getting the right deal set up. Which the FCD FO has done in this case.

    Wow this is great. I wonder if they can hold enough people. I would guess that there would be around 300 or more.

    Enough people? There about 20K seats. Put that game on the Big Screen open two concession stands and Go!

    Blaonpie,

    You have a great idea there. I was just asking about the stadium club. But you are right they could easily move it to the filed screens. I hope enough people show up that it is that type of situation. Not the 20,000 but that would be great as well.

    I’m thinking of driving down from Oklahoma City. Can someone give me an idea of the Stadium Club’s capacity? Will it be worth the drive?

    Stadium Club can hold about 300 comfortably. Might be hard to get a drink, but there are plenty of TV’s. so you’ll be able to see without problems.

    It’s not on regular TV, that’s why there is a watching party.
