The US Open Cup final needs to be played on a Saturday night and shown on ESPN. In addition, the final should be played in one location…have you seen Red Bull Arena…natural grass…awesome stadium…come on US soccer take some action…
Maybe the final should be a 2 legged match. The Open Cup has a history of playing the final more than once. That way choosing the location of the final won’t be an issue, especially after the fiasco between Seattle, DC, and USSF. But I guess that would give rise to other problems like scheduling and additional games in an already congested season and i assume it won’t be popular
