10 TV: The Greater Columbus Sports Commission estimates soccer fans will spend between $2-3 million when the U.S. and Mexico open the final round of World Cup qualifying at Crew Stadium.
The city hopes to cash in on the sold out game with thousands of fans flooding the city… Tickets for the match sold out in 90 minutes, purchased by fans in 43 states and Washington, D.C., Canada and Mexico. Both squads are bitter rivals and Wednesday's meeting is the first Cup qualifying match between the two played in Columbus since 2005.
U.S. soccer fans are encouraged to wear red for the match. Nearly 22,000 placards will be distributed to fans to create a patriotic visual for the millions watching on TV.
