SBFC opening game details have been announced. Oddly enough, the first game will be played on April 5, 2009 against the LA Sol at the Somerset Patriots' stadium (a baseball stadium) and not at Yurcak Field (a soccer stadium; SBFC home field). The switch was made to accomodate the overwhelming demand for tickets...
The field will be oriented with the endlines in the infield and outfield, so most of the seats will be fairly poor (see picture above for approximate viewing opportunities).
We imagine (hope) this happened due to space constraints, because it's not going to be particularly fan-friendly. We're also praying for that soccer-exclusive stadium in Harrison, NJ to be finished soon...

I've watched two Earthquakes games in a baseball stadium and, as a soccer fan, it's an awkward experience.
and your Marta poll - you should add in something about how she'll get lost in Los Angeles just trying to drive herself to the HDC. She said at that FIFA award thing that she's never been to LA!
