There are still tickets available.  I don't know what's going on with Ticketmaster.  Call 904-630-3900 and ask for the box office.

I want us to top the 55,407 fans that Philadelphia had in 2010 so we can have the record for a send-off match.  I want bragging rights!

I'm with you! I want bragging rights! I hear they are getting good sales after each game, and alexi lalas was saying Saturday at the Turkey game the crowd here should be huge! It's the final week push people, if you don't got tickets go get em!

P.S. Ajax, I'm thinking of posting about the Non-Flying Dutchman on the "Soccer Thread" soon. I'd love to banter about his greatness with an Ajax supporter  ;D

Just got Info from smg, they released some good seats they'd been holding for comps and opened the upper decks. Plenty of seats available. Let's fill the place.

I just bought mine last week and the two cheapest options were no longer available. We should definitely hit or beat our previous crowd.
Do you believe that when the blue jay or another bird sings and the body is trembling, that is a signal that people are coming or something important is about to happen?

Oh man, I'd love to.  He's the reason I started following Arsenal.  The man can do no wrong in my eyes!  So glad he's back with Ajax coaching.

A friend of mine was just told that US Soccer is opening new sections as existing sections sell out.  Sometimes there's a short delay but keep trying.

When the team was here two years ago, there was an open practice late Friday afternoon at the stadium. Has anybody heard if they will be doing the same this Friday? I haven't seen anything.

Been looking myself as I have a Nantes jersey I want Bedoya to sign. If I see anything I will post it, but I haven't seen anything either about open practices yet.

public training 5 - 6:30 Friday - http://www.ussoccer.com/stories/2014/05/09/14/16/140509-mnt-send-off-schedule

Breaking Philly's record is going to be a stretch, 50k maybe?

More than 39K sold for #USAvNGA. JAX is poised to break its own record for largest crowd to watch a #USMNT friendly in the southeast #1N1T"

Yeah, that might be tough.  Anybody know what the capacity will be due to the stadium construction?

The pic from the USMNT twitter feed of the team running on our beaches was very cool. Anyone know where the teams are staying while in town?

The picture looks like they are running in Atlantic Beach, based on lack of skyline in the background and proximity to the jetty in the background. Though it could also be PVB. I'd guess they are either at One Ocean or Marriott Sawgrass.

nigeria tweeted they would be at the hyatt, not sure if they are in town yet
