One of my pals has been in Chicago the past few days doing some serious eating and drinking. Got a few recommendations, in case you fancy something, er, fancy at the end of your stint.
I think Proxi would be my first pick, but there’s quite a spread here.
So anyhoo. LA seemed to go well considering it was the first matches. Bosses seem pleased. 65,000 Mexicans in for the second match, and their team won 7-0, so there was much rejoicing.
Saw none of LA. Maybe next time.
It's actually St Paul we're in now, rather than Minneapolis, and we've got the good old USA playing tomorrow, so that should draw a crowd.
Stadium is a brand new and much smaller purpose built soccer stadium here, so I dare say that'll come with a new set of challenges. I'm told there only ever had 8 cameras on an OB there, we have 26, so fuck knows where there all going to go. Time will tell.
Groggy with jet lag today, so there may be grumping later.
Shit, I actually worked on early designs for the Brew Hall and the food concessions areas at Allianz Field stadium. The team merch store, too. That feels like ages ago! I can confirm there are MANY BEERS available in the Brew Hall. Hope you get chance to sample some of it G.
