Gold Cup: US to Play Grenada in Seattle
We mentioned that Qwest Field would be hosting two International Gold Cup matches on July 4th- one including the USA. The matches have been announced: USA vs. Grenada and Haiti vs. Honduras.
CONCACAF General Secretary Chuck Blazer noted in reply if Sounders ticket sales was a factor in allocating a USA game in Seattle…
It was part of the overall mix and picture. The results of Sounders FC parallel Seattle’s evolution as a venue. We ask who can draw well? It’s a component that makes Seattle a viable venue. But the presence of an MLS club there gives us a structure to work with. We think the success of the MLS there is great but it’s not specifically the reason. It’s always been a great market. We don’t have a large staff but the presence of the MLS infrastructure there helps.
