Crew Stadium books easy sellout for U.S.-Mexico World Cup qualifier

Crew Stadium will host its eighth men's World Cup qualifier soccer match next month, when the U.S. plays Mexico.

Crew Stadium will have a full house for the U.S.-Mexico men?s World Cup qualifier match Sept. 10, and U.S. Soccer could have sold a lot more tickets above the stadium?s 24,000-seat capacity.

The soccer federation declared the match a general sellout Friday, saying it received more than twice as many ticket requests than could be accommodated.

A limited number of VIP packages with premium seats remain, U.S. Soccer said. For information, about them call 312-528-1255 or send an e-mail to supporters@ussoccer.org.

This will be the eighth time Crew Stadium has hosted a World Cup men?s qualifier. As I?ve reported, the stadium has been a lucky charm for the U.S. team, which has five wins and two draws in its seven World Cup matches there.

U.S. Soccer also disclosed its headquarters for the World Cup qualifier will be at Easton Town Center, starting Sept. 6. In addition, the federation will host a rally for the team and fans the night before the match at the Bluestone, an entertainment venue off East Broad Street in downtown Columbus.
