Rhinos playoff tickets go on sale tomorrow. Here are the prices for season ticket holders:
3 game package - $18, $27, $36, $39, and $42 per seat
Window prices:
Game 1 - $9, $12, $15, $17, and $19
Game 2 (Semis) - $10, $14, $17, $19, and $21
Game 3 (Final) - $10, $17, $20, $22, and $24
It will be interesting to see how the Rhinos do at the box office given this pricing structure, Johnny Menyongar's injury , and the fact that the team hasn't had good results at hom in 2009.
News & Notes:
- The Rhinos will wear pink jerseys tomorrow night versus Charleston. They will be auctioned off with the proceeds going to the Wilmot Cancer Center at the U of R Medical Center.
- The big news of the last 24 hours is that MLS has announced that they will take a bit of a World Cup break in 2010. I like that The Kartik Report takes a counterpoint view to play the devil's advocate. I wonder how much the US bidding for the 2018 or 2022 World Cup played into this like Kartik suggested?
- It looks like Jermaine Jones won't need more surgery for his stress facture issue.
- Houston lost at Pachuca, but Columbus got an early goal from Eddie Gacen at Saprissa and was able to hang on for the 1-0 win in CONCACAF Champions League play.
- Perhaps Europe needs a Team Owners Association after this report?
- There is a cool interview with Schelotto on MLSNet.com.
- Mad About Futbol takes an interesting look at Miami FC.
- Will Philadelphia Union play at the Linc to start the 2010 season? They do know that they are trying to get involved with local schools and their soccer programs.
- I wonder when they will show up in Montreal?
- The San Jose Earthquakes will unveil new stadium plans on Saturday.
- Adebayor is taking his 3 game suspension and dealing with it. I would have loved to hear what his argument was if he tried to appeal the suspension.
- I wish I had an XBox 360 and a lot of free time after seeing this.
