    Default Unofficial: Real Salt Lake gets 2009 All Star Game

    With construction of its new stadium nearly complete, Real Salt Lake and Major League Soccer will announce Wednesday that the team will play host to the annual MLS All-Star Game next season.
    Sources close to the decision confirmed it, though team and league officials declined to comment; they're holding a press conference Wednesday at 10:30 a.m. at the stadium in Sandy to make their announcement. Gov. Jon Huntsman is expected to attend, along with MLS President Mark Abbott and team owner Dave Checketts, among others.

    Not necessarily. They have played SPL, EPL, La Liga teams in friendlies or all star fixtures. I don't see how it is any different. It is really more about who is available than anything I think.
