Saw some estimates from twitter that had it 70/30.

Should have sat in the section I did



I did see a good bit of USA fans there as well.


And I also saw many Hispanics wearing USA gear as well.



Also saw many wear a mix of both USA/Mexico gear.


I think a lot of the Mexican fans all wore green so it stood out more in the crowds. Many of the USA fans I saw in the crowd were wearing white(like former US jerseys).

To be honest, I saw improvement from what I would have expected in Arizona even 5 years ago.

I went to the Gold Cup final in 2011, which was against Mexico... in LA.

Miserable experience. The Mexican fans were assholes. They also outnumbered us 95% to 5%.

That said, I loved the Mexican-Americans who were wearing USA jerseys and chanting, "Support your home team!" and also "Don't forget who pays your welfare checks!"

Why can't they limit the ticket allotment Mexican fans get? It's a home game for the US.

Really?


Have you ever been asked what team you are cheering for when buying tickets to a sporting event on ticketmaster?

Forgive my ignorance. I honestly don't attend that many live sporting events where I have a vested interest in who I'm going to watch play. I live in Houston and don't really give a shite about the Dynamo. The USMNT played here once last year against Canada and I was there for that one. 0-0 draw with our B-squad and the atmosphere wasn't the best. I prefer watching the games in my sick arse midtown condo on my 70" inch Samsung

So yeah, I didn't know the rules on how tickets are allotted.

The tickets for this were on ticketmaster so it was basically open to whoever wanted to buy.


Tickets were not cheap. Cheapest tickets (wayyyy up at the top $50).


I went when US soccer team played Venezuela (or Argentina...I forget) a few years ago and tickets MUCH cheaper but easily a third of the attendance as last nights game.


I don't even think they sold tickets in the upper levels for that game

Sorry. That was one of the worst USMNT games I've ever watched.

WHy can't we not play Mexico in southern califormia, or arizona, or texas?

All games against Mexico that are played on US soil should be in Seattle or Columbus, that's it.

they are trying to sell tickets that's why. WCQ will be in aforementioned cities. Friendlies will be where the most people will attend.
