I was very happy that Fox Soccer Channel managed to get the game in the last minute.
Re: the Velez stadium. It was used in the 1978 World Cup together with Monumental. It also appears to be a popular venue for concerts in BA. When I was there recently Shakira was performing there.
The number of large stadia in BA is truly impressive. The most mind boggling is Avellaneda where there two large stadia within about 100 meters of each other. But where is Indepediente going to play during the renovation? Playing at Racing's stadium is unfathomable to me. Especially given the songs that they were singing during the game. The Independiente stadium was in terrible condition. The scoreboard was non-functional with cracked plastic cover and a smattering of random yellow pixels. Typical American sports fans who focus on eating nachos, Big Gulps and hot dogs would not like that since they would have keep track of the score.
