No I was actually being sarcastic toward that post from arkyhawk.
Ah, I gotcha, sorry.
Will be great, will sell out with a lightning quickness. The area is buzzing talking about it today when the news hit. Hope we can provide a great atmosphere for our national team. We used to host a lot of qualifiers back in the day at St Louis Soccer Park before the sport really started booming. Glad and grateful that St Louis is able to be a part of it again.

There's two reasons NOT to do stuff like this:
Cities/clubs often invest a lot of money in SSS, often on faith that people will come. Repaying them by boosting pocketbooks with a qualifier is good karma/business for all parties involved.
They should plan bigger stadium qualifiers well. If they think 50K will show up on a Tuesday night against Aruba, they're wrong - and we're back to playing in front of half full stadia like it's 1996.
All that said, there's enough venues (SSS or not) where the US can play, and I don't have any issue with this (unless the field is shite.)
