I don't believe I've ever plugged a soccer game (sorry -- I meant
match) on FWIW, but Audrey Cosgrove, the President of the
Advocates Society, asked if I might promote the Saturday, August 27 match between the Chicago Fire and CF Montreal, at 7:00 p.m. at Soldier Field. Still, it's not as much of a stretch as you might think: One of my many ex-partners, Mark Boyle, was at one time the Soccer King of the South Side. Or at least a contender for the throne.
The match will be a fundraiser for the
Polish Museum of America, with a portion of ticket proceeds to be donated to that institution.
This link will give interested persons all the information they need, including a variety of ticket options.
(Things sure have changed, though. The last time I saw the Chicago Fire play at Soldier Field, Virgil Carter was the quarterback....)
Thank you Audrey and Jack. Hopefully there will be a big crowd cheering the Fire on while assisting a cultural institution in Chicago.
