For an MLS-ish roster and friendly, 20K's not too bad. Hopefully, there's a good walk up at the Rent.
U.S. Soccer officials said Thursday that about 23,000 tickets have been sold.
"The state of Connecticut in particular has always been a good state for the national team program so we're looking forward to getting back there," Arena said. "I'm hopeful to see my friend Geno Auriemma from the University of Connecticut there. That will be a highlight for me as well."
It is the first appearance in Connecticut for Arena since he took over for Jurgen Klinsmann in November, after Klinsmann was fired following two lackluster losses in World Cup qualifying. The Americans have gone 2-0-3 under Arena and are coming off a 1-1 tie with Mexico in Mexico City on June 12.
