Just for your information, ESPN Classic is showing Champions League matches on tape delay this season. Yesterday they had Barcelona v Levski Sofia, and today they're showing Lyon v Real Madrid. The matches are being shown at 5PM Eastern time.
thank you tom
i will note that for the next round of matches in a couple weeks
How the hell is Red Bull Park going to have a ring of luxury suites 12 rows off the field and now completely kill the atmosphere of the stadium?
If you stick all of the fat corporate stooges sitting on their uptight hands down by the field, the silence will be deafening. I sure hope I'm wrong on this one because the league really needs this place to be hopping.
