Do they give a better idea just how south and about where it would be located?
Mexico would need at least 6 to 8 more venues like this one if they want any chance of hosting another world cup. I heard that FIFA is worried that South Africa will not be ready for 2010 and is possibly looking at alternate countries if needed. I heard that the U.S. might be an alternate or even Mexico, but I don't think Mexico would could be ready on such short notice.

IMO it´s more possible a 2018 world cup in the U.S. than in Mexico. USA has a very complete infrastructure in comparison with mexico.

Although stadiums are being built in Guadalajara, Torreon and Juarez and projected new stadiums in Mexico City and Monterrey in addition to the new de Aguascalientes, San Luis and Pachuca, I see distant the world cup. An America Cup in Mexico is more possible.

Regards!

atleast Juarez gets a new arena, if we do its gonna be a small one at 12,000, Abq thinks small, not the smartest group of people running our city, but hey.

What part of Juarez is being modernized? I've only been over the bridges, never ventured past a few blocks, that arena looks good.

last time I was in El Paso I noticed a stadium near that huge Mexican flag in Juarez, What is that stadium called and what is it used for?

Here is a good story about the Indios first game in the Mexican Primera División.
Indios to begin play in Mexico's top league today - El Paso Times
The game will be played later today at 6 pm and will be against U.A.G., it should be televised by one of the spanish stations out there.

I'm not much of a soccer fan, except for international games...but I might start checking this league out..now that Juarez has a team in it.

Default traeling to Indios matches

Any of you folks attend Indios matches?I am looking at relocating when I retire(a while yet,probably 7 more years).I love the game and really want to be near enough to a pro team that I can attend most if not all of the matches.
I live outside of Wash. D.C. and have had season tickets for D.C. United since M.L.S. began in 1996 but can't see how I will be abel to afford to live here on my meager pension.Hopefully the real estate market in this area will rebound and I will be able to sell and relocate at that point.
Is there much hassle crossing over to Juarez?Is it safe?(relatively speaking,I mean I go into D.C. to see every united match and D.C. is not what
most people would call a "safe" place). thanks

Oh no, here we go again. Let me spare you the rest... No, Juarez is not safe. Period, end of that question.

You need to move further into the interior of Mexico, Juarez had over 1600 murders in 2008, Washington DC had with 181 murders in 2007.
