Galaxy-Barcelona Saturday Gameday
FC Barcelona poses for a team photo in Hollywood Thursday at the opening of a rooftop soccer facility at The Montalban Theater that's part of a partnership between Nike and the LA84 Foundation to build or refurbish playgrounds throughout Los Angeles. (Photo by Susan Goldman courtesy of Nike).
The first Galaxy game at the Rose Bowl in seven years will see the team play Barcelona and stars such as Lionel Messi and Thierry Henry, but not injured new signing Zlatan Ibrahimovic at 8 o'clock tonight.
Tickets are still available, but if there's one lesson to be learned from seeing a game at the Rose Bowl it's this: arrive early!
Season ticket holders got a sneak peek Friday night, but for most of you remember, the game is live on Fox Soccer Channel.
I'll blog from the game tonight as usual.
