The Rhinos are hosting a viewing party tomorrow night at The Distillery on Mount Hope as the Fox Soccer Channel will have the Rhinos game in Cleveland as their USL Game of the Week.
It will be interesting to see how many Rhinos fans come out to see the first non-USL Live Rhinos regular season action of 2009.
One thing is for sure, I would have some high expectations for what the Rhinos can do against Cleveland tomorrow night.
