The Manchester United Versus Celtic just broke The New Seahawks stadium record.

 

Yeah, Soccer is hopeless in America :rolleyes:

The Seahwaks suck that bad? Darn, I am indifferent about soccer since the MLS took away our two teams in Florida.

too bad Beckham was signed by Real Madrid or whoever....

 

it would have been cool to have him in the states

I hate soccer...

Football still rules over Soccer.

What do you mean. It's a sellout without Beckham. Their was no returns after he announced that he was going to Real Madrid.

 

Face it Soccer is becoming popular in the states.

 

It just blew Football out of the water in Seattle.

Rune, please post an article you saw this in. It may be possible that Seahawk Stadium has more seats for soccer than football and therefore this game set a new record because of that.

Seating

Capacity for 72,000

67,000 fixed seats including 7,000 club seats

additional 5,000 seats for special events

Roof protection for 70 percent of seats

From the Seattle Seahawks Website

 

Seahawks Stadium scores international soccer match

First & Goal Inc., the Paul Allen company that operates Seahawks Stadium in Seattle, said it has scheduled an exhibition soccer match between England's Manchester United and Celtic FC, the Scottish League champion, for July 22, 2003.

 

 

The taxpayer-funded stadium was built to accommodate soccer matches, with separate locker rooms for soccer and camera-well locations designed for optimal television coverage of the sport. First & Goal said it has agreed to temporarily install grass over the FieldTurf playing surface, a necessary move to secure international matches. First & Goal committed to the temporary installation when the agreement to build the stadium was reached.

 

Manchester, a perennial powerhouse in the English Premier League, will use a four-stop tour in the United States to tune up for the beginning of next year's season in August. The team also will play exhibitions in Los Angeles, Philadelphia and New York/New Jersey.

 

The Seattle Sounders soccer team will play at Seahawks Stadium in the upcoming 2003 season

From the Seattle Business Journal

 

They use FieldTurf for football (same as Tropicana Field/Devil Rays) and natural grass for Soccer. Looks like they fit more people in with the extra seats for soccer than football, therefore setting an attendance record since they have more seats to sell.

I don't have an article I was watching The Game on Fox Sports Net.

 

It came up New Stadium Record.

 

Not a single empty seat for The Manchester United's win.

do you know if Fox Sports World will replay it?

Damn I remember I scored 8 goals in one game when I was 14. I wish I did't quit soccer :( .

FSN Florida can't show soccer since they have both Florida Baseball teams along with the Florida Panthers, UM Hurricanes, and USF Bulls.

Soccer is the best sport in the world.....and its a shame that the MLS cant get its act together and start producing good soccer,thank god our national is great.

I find soccer to be rather boring sometimes, like hockey can because it can have ties.

Soccer is the best sport and nothing compares to world cup.The only things that captures more of my attention than Football season is the World Cup.

 

 

I'll still rank Football ahead of soccer but I love both sports.

 

1a Football

1b Soccer

there is a reason why futbol is the most popular sport in the world.

 

 

Its only a matter of time before you Americans discover the true greatness of futbol.

 

 

Along with being a great sport, futbol can also be something of great national pride come World Cup season. If you have ever been to a futbol stadium on a warm afternoon, you know what I am talking about. You have never experienced a true rabid crowd of fans, unless you have seen a futbol game live.

well, not to be too offensive, but americans have a lot to be proud of, we dont NEED futbol, at all, some countries, that is there only sense of pride, which is why its so big, ontop of that, we have a lot of other popular sports, personally i like soccer, but i only follow the national team, not MLS, i def think it can get boring, but i love watching the US international game.... but i like watching baseball first, the football (american), then baseketball, hockey soccer are all the same to me, although i love watching the heat, especially when they play well, but i never get to see them....

Exactly. We have Baseball, American Football, and Basketball along with Hockey.

 

My priorities are...

Baseball

NFL

NHL

Arena Football

College Football

NBA
