Columbus Crew @ FC Cincinnati on 6/14

Anyone thinking about attending? They play at Nippert (on UC's campus) on Wednesday, June 14th at 7pm.

Should be an exciting game to have a MLS time coming in. The reason they are playing is because FCC beat Louisville FC in a tournament called the Open Cup.

15K+ tickets have been sold in the last week and I'm expecting it to become close to a sellout. Should be fun, I'll be vending.

Last I saw was +17k

I'm that will easily rise to 20-25k

What's a sellout there? 35k for soccer?

That's a good question. Not entirely sure. I'd imagine a true sellout would be the same as it is for a UC game. They'd take all the large banners off the seats if needed.

There is currently another thread for the Open Cup.

btw ... I'll be there! FCC!!!

Was told on Saturday that it's over 20K now and should continue to rise. May be taking the top tarps off.

The biggest crowd #CrewSC has played in-front of this year is 25,376 (5/26 at TFC). Guessing that changes tomorrow night at Nippert.

As of last night, I saw that FCC had just over 22,000 tickets sold for tonight.

They have eclipsed 25,000 -- can't wait!

30,160 in attendance tonight.

MJ did extremely well tonight haha! So much fun. Love the energy the crowd brings.

What a win!

Scoring his third goal in as many U.S. Open Cup matches, Djiby found the back of the net when Justin Hoyte centered a long pass to him just in front of the goal. Djiby played the initial ball high into the air off his head. Then, out-jumping Hector Jimenez of Crew SC, Djiby headed the second touch over the outstretched hand of keeper Brad Stuver into the top corner of the goal.

FCC Bests Columbus Crew SC In Cup Match

====================

It was unreal awesome! I had a perfect view (with a direct line of sight down on the goal) of the whole play and I was standing with a bunch of Crew Fans when Djiby out-athleted the Crew Defenders for what turned out to be the winning goal.
