On July 26th, the Chicago Fire will host Tottenham Hotspur in an international friendly. The Spurs have something in common with the Chicago Cubs of MLB. Both play in a historic and colorful stadium located smack dab in a neighborhood in a huge, thriving metropolis. Hence, I know a few Cubs fans here who also happen to be Tottenham Hotspur supporters.
Makes sense.
Chicago Fire Season Ticket Holders can purchase their tickets here, by calling 708-496-6800 or by e-mail at SeasonTicketServices@Chicago-Fire.com. Tickets for the general public will go on sale on Jan. 24. Group tickets will be available on Jan. 27. I covered the Fire international friendly versus Manchester United in the summer of 2012. I look forward to covering Tottenham Hotspur this summer. I hope some of my readers in the UK will make the trip to my lovely hometown and join me at the match.
