The Galaxy face a Shalrie Joseph-less Revolution at 8 p.m. at Home Depot Center (live on Fox Soccer Channel) in both teams’ season openers.

I haven’t heard whether the Galaxy are close to a sellout for the opener, but here’s the parking and traffic essentials.

Here’s some assorted game previews:

*The game basics from reporter Phil Collin.

*The view from Boston.

In other news around the league:

*Preki has signed former Chivas USA defender Dan Gargan, 27, for Toronto FC continuing his personnel moves that are infuriating some fans in Toronto.

*Rolling Hills Estates’ Robbie Rogers is targeting a “huge” year with Columbus.

Other televised MLS games today:

*1 p.m. KFTR Dallas-Houston

*3:55 p.m. ESPN New York-Chicago Fire (Check out the new Red Bulls Arena in HD).

I plan to blog from the Galaxy game as usual, so join me then.
