guessing the final at Cowboys Stadium

 

[Dr. Jones]

I need dates and ticket info!!!

 

[Dr. Jones]

I think Dallas & Houston will get the semi-finals with the Rose Bowl getting the final again.

Just get me the doubleheader dates, and the site of the US team games already!!!

Yep, the Western Soccer Hemisphere LOVES the Rose Bowl.

 

[Dr. Jones]

Man... This thread has really excited me. I wish that RFK stadium was still in there. I know why it isn't included but that damn place is AMAZING for international soccer.

I will be at the Jersey & Baltimore games for sure. Hopefully the schedule is such that a doubleheader day and a US Soccer match or two happen in both places. I might go to the Connecticut games if I have to.

I'd like to hit one of those dates. I hope I can.

It's on. Tickets go on sale the 21st!

Soldier Field gets the title game. Kind of a shocker, but will be better for US support and Weather.

[Dr. Jones]

I am trying to talk my buddy into the CT doubleheader and the Baltimore Doubleheader since the US should be there also.

 

[Dr. Jones]

Baltimore tickets are not on sale yet. I have the presale code for the Hartford, CT doubleheader if anyone wants it, just shoot me a PM. I just got 7 rows off the field on the 45 yard line for about $140 for both tickets. Can't wait to see them.

Tickets go on sale to the public on the 21st.

 

[Dr. Jones]

The promo code for presale tickets in Baltimore & Hartford is GoldCup2013. It might work at the others also.

I went with 45 yard line seats for the game in Hartford, and then the American Outlaws section in Baltimore. I can't freaking wait for this. Should be a ton of fun.

Here are the pre-sale codes for the American Outlaws Supporters section in many of the stadiums. If you use the codes below, it will be an endzone seat but crazy fan support. Shanding and chanting the whole time. lol

Salt Lake City: US Supporters Section: SLCUSA13
Hartford: US Supporters Section: RENTSCHLER13
Baltimore: US Supporters Section: BALTUSA13
Dallas: US Supporters Section: TXUSA13
Chicago: US Supporters Section: USA13CHICAGO
