I know there is a lot of negativity on these boards about the friendlies and how season ticket holders are getting screwed, but I think some thanks is owed for booking 2 solid teams. Regardless if they are your favorite team or not, you have to admit that River and Real Madrid are a huge improvement from year's past. I know they tried hard to bring in quality teams and I think some thanks is due for the hard work that went into this.
I for one say thank you to Paul and whoever was involved on getting 2 great teams this year to come to our city.
