The FIFA 10 Takeover Tour
has been on the road for almost four weeks now bringing the game to
footy fans all over the US. Over the past week, the East Coast team
has set up shop at numerous GameStops through Philadelphia and
Baltimore where they also set up in the ESPN Zone to pack crowds.
They
continued the week in the DC area where they met with the Vienna Youth
Soccer League along with setting up with the City FC, a non-profit
youth soccer organization with over 5,000 athletes from under
privileged areas of the community.
The team also made a stop in Roanoke, VA where the state's largest
youth soccer tournament was being held. They set up at two different
fields where kids played more than 1,000 games!
On the West Coast, the team made GameStop visits in Portland, San Francisco, San Jose, and Redwood City.
The tour set up at Danny Coyle's pub, one of the top soccer bars in
San Francisco where many of the fans watching the Man U and Chelsea
game found time to take in the sticks as well as the game on the big
screens.
The team also made a stop at the Mustang Soccer Complex in Danville,
CA to an awesome turnout at the private facility. For those that
didn't make it to the complex, the crew set up at a large GameStop in
Danville where they were able to run a 16-person tournament with the
winner receiving a PSP!
