Anyone getting together to watch US v Mexico? Sometimes the local Telemundo affiliate doesn't show games with Mexico, since I think Televisa and/or TV Azteca has the exclusive rights to show them within Mexico, including Tijuana. Are there any places that get that HDnet channel?
I know that Oggi's in Carmel Valley (I-5 to Del Mar heights Rd. East, right on Carmel Country, on the right) gets Fox Sports World, and will put the game on for us. If you work south of the 5/805 merge it will be tough to get there. Any other suggestions? I know a lot of guys down here that would like to go.
I just spoke with a guy in SD who will show all the Euro 2004 games W/O a cover charge! He's got a full kitchen AND bar. Details to come soon! This is the best soccer news I've received in months.
Funny how mls still hasn't announced anything regarding expansion. You need more than one year to create a team and market it. Typical MLS.
Do you think the Earthquakes would move to S.D.? I think there would be way more support for them here than in San Jose. As for a soccer stadium, can the Little Q Rugby field be used? Any idea on how many people it can hold? Rugby Field Planning on going to my first Gauchos match on May 8th. Anyone know how much tickets are? I found no info on the website. Gauchos Website
Welcome to Big Soccer! I don't think the Earthquakes would move here bacause it would cost too much for the league among other things. It would be very cool though.
Yes, and we sing for them. A little Vid - 100 years. http://www.audioarena.de/video/schalke_support.wmv
I believe tix are no more than $12, and possibly as low as $5. But don't quote me on that; I haven't been out there for a while.
welcome limitzero. I don't expect a team to move to San Diego anytime soon. With no stadium to think off, the chances of San Diego getting a team a really low right now. If TJ gets a d1 mexican team then our chances would be decreased even more. BTW, I think San Jose does not support their club. I don't think management markets the team well, but still you have to draw better than 8k for your home opener.
Gauchos tickets are $7 for adults, I'm not sure what discount they give for kids, or at what age they start charging. The Gauchos look a bit better than last year, but they're playing Fresno again this Saturday, so look for another tough game. If they can beat Fresno, then we'll know that this year's Gauchos team is for real. And by the way, the Gauchos are playing some of their home games at Balboa Stadium, which is interesting because I've thought of that place as a possibile place to build a big modern soccer-specific stadium. But then for the Gauchos, by having two home venues you're setting yourself up for low attendance, since some fans will not always be aware of where the games are. Having one location all year is much better at showing stability. Of course, I'm sure the Gauchos couldn't give two nits about what I think.
I want to comment on the 2 venue stuff. If the team had a fanbase, then it would be a problem. However, by playing in 2 locations you open yourself up to more fans, especially on weekends like when you play back to back against the same team. That being said, the Gauchos aren't ever going to be successful while the current front office run the team with all the charm of Mike Tyson without medication.
Hi again. It's about 1 hour until the Galaxy kick off against the Rapids up in Carson, and I'm not there. Though it's probably too late for today, does anyone know of places in San Diego that have the MLS shootout package that would be showing this game? I'm sure that any place I try tonight will be packed with people watching the Lakers game. But it would be nice for the future to know of places around town that have the MLS season package available. Anyone?
Good news for San Diego sorta. Apparently Mexico's Pumas will have a match this summer at the Q. Possibly against Argentina's River Plate. http://www.signonsandiego.com/sports/soccer/20040519-9999-lz1s19socce.html
We're trying to cut down on the long threads. San Diego folks can feel free to continue discussion here: https://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/showthread.php?t=113170 Thanks.
