More Than 20,000 Tickets Sold For Kickoff Series Contest Between USA-Colombia on Oct. 11 at Raymond James Stadium
Match Could Set Attendance Record for an MNT visit to Tampa Bay
CHICAGO, Ill. - More than 20,000 tickets have been sold for the next stop of the U.S. MNT's Kickoff Series when the United States will host 14th-ranked Colombia at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa. FS1, UniMas and UDN will broadcast the match beginning at 7:30 p.m. ET. [KICKOFF SERIES TICKETS]
The match could set an attendance record for a MNT visit to Tampa. A crowd of 31,547 witnessed a Landon Donovan hat trick in a 3-0 win against Ecuador on March 25, 2007 in the same venue. The U.S. is coming off a 1-0 win against archrival Mexico on Sept. 11 in Nashville, with 19-year-old Tyler Adams scoring his first international goal in the shutout victory.
The match falls on an international fixture date, which makes all players available for selection.
