There are thousands of seats available to buy.  Not to mention, there are rows and rows of seats above the seats available.  I hate to break it you, but those aren't sold either…

The point of this game is obviously not to sell a lot of tickets.  When your game starts mid-day on a Wednesday, you aren't expecting to get a big crowd.

I understand the kickoff is at 2pm so it can be televised in German prime time. But, I would love to hear a reason why the weekend was not an option. And what baffles me is this morning they still have N University as single lane in each direction because they are dividing the median for the next garage.

I would assume the same reason the game is at 2 p.m. local time, tv considerations.

How do you see this?

Aren't most sections sold out? Either way, we will see tomorrow.

It all has to do with the FIFA calendar. While tomorrow isn't a designated "friendly date" by FIFA, next Tuesday is. United States Soccer, who's hosting tomorrow's game, decided to play Germany on Sunday in preparation for their World Cup Qualifiers starting on June 7th. Therefore, it pushed this game to Wednesday because they are the one's hosting the events.

I see almost half of the sections available…ticketmaster is probably holding back sections from sale to "create" demand.  My guess is that there will not be one person in the student section and many other sections.  If they get 15k, that will be a great turn out.

Doesn't look like a big crowd…haven't seen the "home" stands.  Maybe 10k, more if the home stands are filled
