Ed here.

… It was announced today on GoffBlog that the US-Mexico qualifier to kick off action in the Hex will indeed be played at Crew Stadium in Columbus, Ohio, on Wednesday, February 11. I plan on being there - hotel room is already reserved. Ticket information hasn’t been announced yet.

I know there was some sentiment and even some reports that the new Real Salt Lake stadium was up for consideration for this game, but I have to think here that the Columbus pick is the right one. There’s a good history vs. Mexico there, of course, and it’s the right kind of venue for this game. Small, limited fans, tickets will have a demand to them, and the fans that go should be more of the vociferous kind, which is exactly what we need against Mexico.
