yeah, looks like its gonna be a 90,000 sell out, thing is, which team was meant to be playing at home? isn't this taking away one of the teams advantage of home support or anything? In football (soccer) over here, playing at home is a great advantage IMO.

Playing at home is an advantage (a much bigger advantage if the fans are pumped up), but let's not kid ourselves, this is all about the $$.
The new breed of athlete cares more about his contract than about any fans. That's why Monday night football games were for so many years the best showcase of talent, and some of the top games of the season. More visibility = more incentive for the athlete to showcase his skills and negotiate a better contract next season. |
