Austin's hosting an exhibition!

[ipomoea.livejournal.com]

Just one weekend before Chelsea and Club América are set to play in Dallas, Austin will be hosting two more Mexican Primera División teams, Mexico City's Cruz Azul and Monterrey's UANL Tigres, in an exhibition match at UT. Just thought I'd post it if any Austin or Texas people wanted to get a group together and go for fun.

Austin Aztex and University of Texas announce State Farm Copa Aztex

06/03/2009 3:30 PM -
The Austin Aztex FC and University of Texas have paired up to announce the first State Farm Copa Aztex, an annual soccer match that will feature two high-profile Mexican professional soccer teams.

This year’s match, the first of a multi-year agreement between the Aztex and UT, will feature Cruz Azul and Tigres squaring off at Mike A. Myers Track & Soccer Stadium on the UT Campus. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. Central on Saturday, July 18. The match will cap off a day of fun-filled fan events at Myers Stadium.

Along with what is expected to be an exciting match, State Farm and Univision Radio will present the El Golazo music festival featuring food, prizes, giveaways, a beer garden and live music. Gates open for the event at 4 p.m.

Tickets for the State Farm Copa Aztex go on sale to the public on Monday, June 8 at 10 a.m. Central. Tickets will be priced at $30 and $50 and will be available at all Texas Box Office locations (including the Frank Erwin Center), TexasBoxOffice.com or by calling 800-982-BEVO (2386).

The Aztex and University of Texas encourage all soccer fans to buy their tickets early due to an expected high turnout for the inaugural State Farm Copa Aztex event.

Thanks for the info! This is right up the road from me. We have been talking about going to an Aztex game anyway, so what a perfect opportunity.

Ah well they aren't playing this one, just hosting it. :) If you want to see the Aztex for a little bit cheaper than usual, though, they're playing a US Open Cup game against a PDL team from Mississippi this Tuesday night and tickets are $15.
