Another announcement...

Busy day here in the bakery...

It had been rumored for a while, but now it's official. The Silverbacks will host the Rayados de Monterrey in a friendly on Thursday, July 12. This is in addition to bringing Cruz Azul to Atlanta on July 26.

Tickets are on sale, but it's not clear what prices will be. Will they be normal prices, Cruz Azul prices ($37.50 or $55), or somewhere in between?

This does bring up an issue of fixture congestion. The two friendlies, plus a crowded league schedule, and the Open Cup make things difficult. They will be playing 6 games in 16 days.

I guess somewhere in between was the correct answer...

$35 for everywhere in the stadium, except sections 109 and 101. Those two sections are $20.

Pretty steep considering the pricing wasn't officially announced (a link went up on the website sometime in the last day), there was NOTHING in the Hispanic media last week about the game, and the game will be played in 9 days.
