Sure, soccer crowns its 2014 World Cup champion on July 13, but for some real history in the sport, check out the very next week.
Because on July 16, Miller Park hosts its very first international soccer match.
The Milwaukee Brewers made the surprise announcement Thursday morning. Chivas de Guadalajara, a storied team from Mexico’s top league, faces off against Swansea City, the first Welsh team to ever play in England’s Premiere League.
To make the summer exhibition game happen, the Brewers will fit a soccer field into their baseball field, laying it out so that one goal is at the far end of left field and the other one is near first base. You can find more information about the event and teams here and here. Tickets range from $25-$70.
But please, leave the vuvuzelas at home.
