Bears fan follows through on vow, changing name
Associated Press
Feb. 7, 2007
Link to original article
DECATUR, Ill. -- How do you spell Scott Wiese?
In a few weeks, that'd be P-e-y-t-o-n M-a-n-n-i-n-g.
Wiese, a die-hard fan of the Chicago Bears, signed a pledge in front of a crowd at a Decatur bar last Friday night that if the Bears lost Sunday's Super Bowl, he'd change his name to that of the man who led the Indianapolis Colts to victory.
Final score: Colts 29, Bears 17.
So Tuesday, Wiese went to the Macon County Courts Facility and started the process of changing his name.
"I made the bet, and now I've got to keep it," the 26-year-old Wiese said.
Wiese will have to advertise his intention in the local newspaper -- the Herald & Review -- for several weeks and then have a judge give him the OK to become, legally anyway, Peyton Manning.
The men have little in common, Wiese acknowledges.
Manning is 30 years old, stands 6-foot-5 and has a contract with the Colts worth more than $100 million.
Wiese is 5-foot-11 and works at an office-supply store for somewhat less.
"I think I kind of represent all Bears fans," he said. "Not that I'm saying they're all idiots like me, but I represent their passion because I really care about my team, you know?"

NFL Draft
NFL littered with cautionary combine tales
By Pat Forde

INDIANAPOLIS -- The monstrous young man walked into the media room at the Indianapolis Convention Center wearing a gray sweatshirt that said "OL45" on the chest.
When OL45 showed up, reporters got excited. They stampeded behind him to the podium.
In response to the first question, OL45 dispensed the following vital information:

2007 NFL Draft - April 28-29
ESPN.com's 2007 mock draft - First 10
1. Oakland Raiders - JaMarcus Russell, QB, LSU
John Clayton, ESPN.com senior NFL writer: With no other quarterback solution available through a trade or free agency, Al Davis has no choice but to take Russell, the strong armed quarterback from LSU. Davis would love to take Georgia Tech wide receiver Calvin Johnson, but he has admitted that he made a mistake by skipping on a quarterback last year. Barring a last minute Daunte Culpepper trade, Russell is their guy.
2. Detroit Lions - Calvin Johnson, WR, Georgia Tech
John Clayton, ESPN.com senior NFL writer: The Lions want to trade down to take defensive end Gaines Adams or linebacker Patrick Willis, but they have to get the right value. If they can't get what they want from the Bucs, who want to move up for Johnson, they can take Johnson and still spend time trying to trade him or just decide to keep him. It makes sense. What's wrong with keeping the best player in the draft if you can't get the right value? He may be a Lion for 30 minutes until the Bucs make the right trade offer or he might be a Lion at the end of the day.
3. Cleveland Browns - Adrian Peterson, RB, Oklahoma
John Clayton, ESPN.com senior NFL writer: With no mandate by owner Randy Lerner to take quarterback Brady Quinn, general manager Phil Savage has his choice of either Peterson or left tackle Joe Thomas. Peterson is a rare running back who could help Romeo Crennel through a September in which the Browns have three AFC North home games.
4. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Joe Thomas, OT, Wisconsin
John Clayton, ESPN.com senior NFL writer: The Bucs might work out a deal with the Lions to move up to No. 2, but they would be happy if Thomas falls to them at No. 4. He would be their most talented left tackle since Paul Gruber. If the Browns take Thomas, expect the Bucs to get on the phone and intensify trade discussions with the Lions to get Calvin Johnson. The cost is a swap of firsts and maybe a second- and a third-rounder. Offering cornerback Brian Kelly could replace one of the draft choices.
5. Arizona Cardinals - Jamaal Anderson, DE, Arkansas
Len Pasquarelli, ESPN.com senior NFL writer: Wouldn't mind trading back a bit and taking Penn State tackle Levi Brown, although the position isn't as big a need as it was at the start of the offseason. Gaines Adams is a possibility, but the Cards want to mix in some 3-4 and Anderson is a little bigger end.
6. Washington Redskins - Amobi Okoye, DT, Louisville
Len Pasquarelli, ESPN.com senior NFL writer: Could move up or down, and Adams will be tempting here, as will safety LaRon Landry. But Okoye will give them an inside presence they haven't had in a long time. Also hearing that LaRon Landry could be the pick here.
7. Minnesota Vikings - Brady Quinn, QB, Notre Dame
Len Pasquarelli, ESPN.com senior NFL writer: Another team that could take Adams, because the Vikings definitely need a pass rusher. If Peterson somehow falls this far, they snatch him. But Quinn solves the quarterback problem.
8. Atlanta Falcons - LaRon Landry, S, LSU
Len Pasquarelli, ESPN.com senior NFL writer: Possibly the best defensive player in the entire draft, and the Falcons need a playmaker in the middle of their secondary. Okoye would be tempting if he was here, as would Levi Brown.
9. Miami Dolphins - Levi Brown, OT, Penn State
John Clayton, ESPN.com senior NFL writer: The Dolphins might consider a trade to No. 6 with the Redskins in order to get Quinn, but Cam Cameron won't be able to pass on Brown if he's there at No. 9. The Dolphins are looking for two starters on their offensive line and locking up a top left tackle is a great start.
10. Houston Texans - Gaines Adams, DE, Clemson
John Clayton, ESPN.com senior NFL writer: At least Texans fans can't complain about their team taking this pass rusher over a running back. Getting Adams here would be a dream scenario for Gary Kubiak and a steal. Despite drafting Mario Williams over Reggie Bush last season, the Texans wanted to add another pass rusher in order to put Anthony Weaver at tackle.

ESPN.com's 2007 mock draft - Middle 10
11. San Francisco 49ers - Patrick Willis, LB, Mississippi
John Clayton, ESPN.com senior NFL writer: Willis was the team captain for 49ers coach Mike Nolan at the Senior Bowl. Now, he can develop into one of the leaders of the 49ers' revamped 3-4 defense. While many think the 49ers would take a defensive lineman at this spot, Willis is type of playmaker the 49ers can't pass up.
12. Buffalo Bills - Leon Hall, CB, Michigan
John Clayton, ESPN.com senior NFL writer: Where's Marshawn Lynch? He'll go a little later. Dick Jauron would prefer Willis here, but he's gone. Jauron believes enough in Anthony Thomas to pass on Lynch and get a running back in the second round. They lost Nate Clements to free agnecy, so Hall fills a need at cornerback.
13. St Louis Rams - Darrelle Revis, CB, Pittsburgh
John Clayton, ESPN.com senior NFL writer: The Rams would like a defensive end but Revis is their top cornerback. They might consider wide receiver Robert Meachem, but Revis will pair with last year's first-round pick, Tye Hill, to give the Rams a solid secondary for years to come.
14. Carolina Panthers - Reggie Nelson, S, Florida
Len Pasquarelli, ESPN.com senior NFL writer: The Panthers would love to get a speed receiver and TE Greg Olsen is a possibility, too. But the team's safety depth chart is perilously thin and Mike Minter is retiring after this season. Maybe a tad high for Nelson, but a lot of teams really like him.
15. Pittsburgh Steelers - Adam Carriker, DE, Nebraska
Len Pasquarelli, ESPN.com senior NFL writer: A big, run-anchor end who can slide inside on occasion and play some tackle. Can play in the 3-4 or the 4-3, so he allows new coach Mike Tomlin some flexibility. Revis would be tempting if he's still on the board and an outside linebacker is also possible.
16. Green Bay Packers - Marshawn Lynch, RB, Cal
Len Pasquarelli, ESPN.com senior NFL writer: Packers have checked out his character and his alleged back problems and seem satisfied with both.
17. Jacksonville Jaguars - Aaron Ross, CB, Texas
John Clayton, ESPN.com senior NFL writer: With Reggie Nelson already taken, the Jaguars will have to go with Plan B and take a cornerback. Ross is the next cornerback and the Jaguars aren't taking receivers or tight ends for a change.
18. Cincinnati Bengals - Jon Beason, LB, Miami
John Clayton, ESPN.com senior NFL writer: This is clearly going to be a defensive pick, leaning toward linebacker and the secondary. Defensive tackle Alan Branch of Michigan might be a temptation but Beason is an outside linebacker who fits nicely into Marvin Lewis' scheme.
19. Tennessee Titans - Robert Meachem, WR, Tennessee
Len Pasquarelli, ESPN.com senior NFL writer: Getting a player like Aaron Ross would have been perfect, because he could replace Pacman Jones as a corner and return man. With him off the board, the Titans turn to offense, and Ted Ginn Jr. could be a possibility, but the Titans can't gamble on his foot.
20. New York Giants - Lawrence Timmons, LB, Florida State
Len Pasquarelli, ESPN.com senior NFL writer: The Giants would love to get a top-shelf corner and could roll the dice on a character-risk guy like Eric Wright, who they like a lot, but this is probably too high for him. Defensive tackle Alan Branch is also possible here.

ESPN.com's 2007 mock draft - Last 12
21. Denver Broncos - Alan Branch, DT, Michigan
Len Pasquarelli, ESPN.com senior NFL writer: Lots of issues, like motivation and health, but too good to pass at this point. New coordinator Jim Bates like big bodies.
22. Dallas Cowboys - Ted Ginn Jr., WR, Ohio State
John Clayton, ESPN.com senior NFL writer: As much as Jerry Jones would love to take a cornerback or safety, how can he pass up a receiver who entered the college season as a top 10 prospect. The only reason he fell to 22 is because of the foot sprain he suffered during the BCS championship game. It's not out of the question for the Cowboys to take Dwayne Jarrett. The Cowboys aren't concerned about his 4.62 time. Emmitt Smith and Michael Irvin made the Hall of Fame with slow 40 times.
23. Kansas City Chiefs - Joe Staley, LT, Central Michigan
John Clayton, ESPN.com senior NFL writer: After losing the left side of their offensive line with the retirements of Willie Roaf and Will Shields over the past 12 months, the Chiefs can start to restock here. Staley started college as a 230-pound tight end. He developed into the No. 3 tackle in this draft.
24. New England Patriots - Michael Griffin, S, Texas
Len Pasquarelli, ESPN.com senior NFL writer: The kind of versatile defensive back the Patriots like, and Rodney Harrison isn't getting any younger. Can play some safety, nickel corner, help on special teams. S Brandon Meriweather is also a possibility here.
25. New York Jets - Greg Olsen, TE, Miami
Len Pasquarelli, ESPN.com senior NFL writer: It seems like the Jets have been trying to fill the hole at tight end forever. Olsen finally addresses the void.
26. Philadelphia Eagles - Brandon Meriweather, S, Miami
John Clayton, ESPN.com senior NFL writer: The Eagles usually restrict their first-round selections to defensive and offensive linemen, corners and wide receivers. But drafting Meriweather fills a need and also looks to the future. With Michael Lewis gone and Brian Dawkins getting older, the Eagles can groom Meriweather to be one of their safeties of the future.
27. New Orleans Saints - Dwayne Bowe, WR, LSU
John Clayton, ESPN.com senior NFL writer: With the addition of cornerback Jason David from the Colts, the Saints can take the best available player. They lost Joe Horn this offseason and Bowe is also a local star coming from LSU.
28. New England Patriots - David Harris, LB, Michigan
Len Pasquarelli, ESPN.com senior NFL writer: The Michigan standout has been moving up Pats' board of late and he's the eventual successor to Tedy Bruschi.
29. Baltimore Ravens - Arron Sears, OG, Tennessee
John Clayton, ESPN.com senior NFL writer: With Jonathan Ogden considering retirement and Tony Pashos lost to Jacksonville, the Ravens can start to rebuild their line with a versatile blocker. They will also look at Ben Grubbs, Ryan Kalil and other blockers.
30. San Diego Chargers - Steve Smith, WR, USC
Len Pasquarelli, ESPN.com senior NFL writer: The Chargers are so deep and talented that they can afford to make a little bit of a reach to address a position of need. Smith is quicker than former USC teammate Dwayne Jarrett and gives Philip Rivers a deep threat.
31. Chicago Bears - Jarvis Moss, DE/LB, Florida
Len Pasquarelli, ESPN.com senior NFL writer: Probably better suited for a 3-4 front, but too good to still be on the board, and no team can overlook such a talented pass rusher at this point.
32. Colts - Justin Harrell, DT, Tennessee
Len Pasquarelli, ESPN.com senior NFL writer: Colts need to bulk up interior line. Lost starting cornerbacks Nick Harper and Jason David, so a guy like Chris Houston would give them another young cover guy to challenge for playing time. Linebacker and defensive tackle are possibilities as is a hybrid-type edge defender like Anthony Spencer of Purdue.

2007 NFL Draft - First Round
NFL - 2007 draft - First 10
1. Oakland Raiders - JaMarcus Russell, QB, LSU
ESPN analysis: Russell is the obvious pick for the Raiders because he fills a pressing need and has the most value at the position. Although he needs to continue to improve his decision making and work on his footwork, he has rare size and arm strength. If Lane Kiffin can get Russell to buy into his system, the sky is the limit for Russell and the Raiders.
2. Detroit Lions - Calvin Johnson, WR, Georgia Tech
ESPN analysis: Calvin Johnson is arguably the most talented receiver taken in a decade. Blazing speed, impressive body control and formidable size could make Johnson one of the most difficult receivers in the league to cover this year. If he improves his consistency catching the ball and sharpens his route running skills, defensive coordinators will have a difficult time finding ways to slow him down.
3. Cleveland Browns - Joe Thomas, OT, Wisconsin
ESPN analysis: A three-year starter at Wisconsin, Thomas gets into his pass set quickly, uses his long arms to ride edge rushers past the quarterback and can counter when ends try to redirect inside after starting outside. Thomas also does a good job of throwing blocks downfield. With the Browns already adding Seth McKinney and Eric Steinbach though free agency, Cleveland's offensive line should be substantially better this year.
4. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Gaines Adams, DE, Clemson
ESPN analysis: Adams, who is the most explosive pass-rusher in this class, should provide that much-needed shot of adrenaline for the Bucs. He has excellent first-step quickness and shows rare closing speed once he turns the corner. If he doesn't get to the quarterback, he generally gets his hands up and times his jumps well. The biggest concern with him is his ability to anchor against the run.
5. Arizona Cardinals - Levi Brown, OT, Penn State
ESPN analysis: The departure of Leonard Davis has created a vacancy at left tackle, so getting Brown fills the Cardinals' most pressing need. Brown should immediately step in as the starter, and for good reason. His ability to open up holes and wear down opponents over the course of a game should please both RB Edgerrin James and new head coach Ken Whisenhunt, who is expected to run early and often.
6. Washington Redskins - LaRon Landry, S, LSU
ESPN analysis: Landry is a tough run defender who takes the shortest path to the ball and delivers big hits. He times hits well and punishes receivers that go over the middle. He can cover the deep half of the field and can match up with slot receivers. One area of concern is his ability to play the ball when it's in the air, but he has adequate ball skills and he should benefit from lining up next to Sean Taylor.
7. Minnesota Vikings - Adrian Peterson, RB, Oklahoma
ESPN analysis: Peterson is a tough runner who can pick up yards between the tackles and break tackles when he gets into the open field. He has the burst to turn the corner, make the first defender miss and turn on the jets when he gets a seam. While the Vikings have more pressing needs at several other positions, including defensive end and running back, Peterson was too good to pass up on.
8. Atlanta Falcons - Jamaal Anderson, DE, Arkansas
ESPN analysis: Anderson is a relentless pass-rusher who has good closing speed and can deliver the big hits when he gets to the quarterback, which should soften the blow of losing Patrick Kerney. Atlanta's run defense should also benefit from getting Anderson. Anderson has the size to hold his ground against the run and the upper body strength to shed blocks quickly once he learns how to use his hands a little better.
9. Miami Dolphins - Ted Ginn Jr., WR, Ohio State
ESPN analysis: Ginn Jr. is a playmaker with blazing speed. He can go the distance every time he touches the ball whether it's on returns or catching the ball on offense. However, there are no guarantees Ginn Jr. will develop into a quality No. 2 receiver. While he has excellent speed, he ran just three routes at Ohio State so he has a tremendous amount of work to do in that area.
10. Houston Texans - Amobi Okoye, DT, Louisville
ESPN analysis: Okoye is still an excellent pick and the reason is great defenses are built from the inside out. He has excellent initial quickness, good strength and the frame to comfortably add weight. He can get after the passer and disrupt running plays in the backfield. In addition, defensive tackle is also a need and Okoye should compete for a starting role.

NFL - 2007 draft - Middle 10
11. San Francisco 49ers - Patrick Willis, LB, Mississippi
ESPN Analysis: A stout run defender, Willis takes the shortest path to the ball and wraps up upon contact. Willis can also match up with most backs and tight ends when he drops into coverage. Finally, he is a leader on the field and a hard worker off it. In other words, he is the kind of player defenses are built around and he immediately improves San Francisco's defense.
12. Buffalo Bills - Marshawn Lynch, RB, Cal
ESPN Analysis: Lynch has shown flashes of developing into a difference maker. He's big enough to carry a heavy workload and his speed should make him a home run threat in the NFL. In other words, he can pound the ball inside turn the corner as an outside runner. There's also reason to believe he'll emerge as a dangerous receiver out of the backfield.
13. St Louis Rams - Adam Carriker, DE, Nebraska
ESPN Analysis: Carriker has the quickness to prevent blockers from getting into good position and he already shows a good variety of pass rush moves. His ability to get after the quarterback should make it more difficult for teams to adjust their pass protections to account for teammate Leonard Little. Carriker could have an even bigger impact on the run defense.
14. New York Jets (from Carolina Panthers) - Darrelle Revis, CB, Pittsburgh
ESPN Analysis: Although Revis can take too long to change directions at times and has some problems matching up with explosive slot receivers, he is still a first-round talent. More importantly, his instincts should make him an excellent fit for head coach Eric Mangini's defensive schemes and he is a playmaker than can make a difference.
15. Pittsburgh Steelers - Lawrence Timmons, LB, Florida State
ESPN Analysis: Timmons has the burst to turn the corner, athletic ability to develop an arsenal of pass rushes and the closing speed to quickly get to the quarterback. If the Steelers transition to a 4-3 defense at some point, Timmons is versatile enough to move to weakside linebacker.
16. Green Bay Packers - Justin Harrell, DT, Tennessee
ESPN Analysis: Harrell isn't a great pass-rusher but he should immediately improve the Packers' run defense. He has excellent lower body strength and is virtually impossible to move once he establishes position. His ability to collapse the pocket will also make it easier for the edge rushers to get to the quarterback.
17. Denver Broncos (from Jacksonville Jaguars) - Jarvis Moss, DE/LB, Florida
ESPN Analysis: Moss is capable of giving the pass rush a substantial boost. He anticipates snap counts well, explodes off the ball and he closes extremely well. The Broncos will likely use him as a situational pass-rusher but there is a chance he develops into an every-down player if he can add some weight without sacrificing any quickness.
18. Cincinnati Bengals - Leon Hall, CB, Michigan
ESPN Analysis: Hall is a physical cover corner who is tough enough to match up with bigger receivers, athletic enough to stay with slot receivers and can make big plays in coverage. The Bengals will have to give him safety help over the top when he lines up opposite a premiere deep threat. Cincinnati has done a good job of using the draft to build a potentially excellent secondary.
19. Tennessee Titans - Michael Griffin, S, Texas
ESPN Analysis: This was a bad pick for the Titans, from a need perspective. And that's not to say Griffin isn't going to be a good player in the NFL. Although he gets caught out of position at times and he needs to get a little bigger he will smack the ball carrier in the mouth and he has above-average cover skills so he should push for immediate playing time.
20. New York Giants - Aaron Ross, CB, Texas
ESPN Analysis: The Giants got an excellent pick in Ross. He possesses a very good blend of size, speed, instincts and ball skills. If he develops as expected, he'll emerge as a playmaking starter in the NFL.

NFL - 2007 draft - Next 10
21. Jacksonville Jaguars (from Denver Broncos) - Reggie Nelson, S, Florida
ESPN Analysis: The Jaguars filled their need with Nelson. Critics point out that Nelson is somewhat one-dimensional because he isn't big enough to line up in the box or a great run defender but he has great range. His ability to cover so much ground should make him an immediate upgrade over FS Gerald Sensabaugh and he gives the Jaguars another playmaker to complement DC Rashean Mathis.
22. Cleveland Browns (from Dallas Cowboys) - Brady Quinn, QB, Notre Dame
ESPN Analysis: Quinn has the poise to step in right away and enough confidence to learn from his mistakes along the way. It also helps that the Browns have done an excellent job of improving the offensive line during the offseason so Quinn won't get harassed as much as Charlie Frye did last year.
23. Kansas City Chiefs - Dwayne Bowe, WR, LSU
ESPN Analysis: Bowe has outstanding size, he catches the ball well and he makes fluid cuts so he clearly has the potential to develop into a reliable possession receiver. Though he doesn't have elite speed and he isn't going to run by defensive backs, he is big and fast enough to make the occasional play downfield so he can stretch defenses vertically.
24. New England Patriots (from Seattle Seahawks) - Brandon Meriweather, S, Miami
ESPN Analysis: Despite Meriweather's off-the-field concerns, he should see significant playing time because of durability concerns surrounding the Pats' starters, and the fact that he is too talented to keep on the sidelines. Meriweather has excellent instincts, he shows great range and he is an effective open-field tackler.
25. Carolina Panthers (from New York Jets) - Jon Beason, LB, Miami
ESPN Analysis: Beason is an excellent value at this point in the first round and he is more than capable of pushing Na'il Diggs for playing time on the weak side. The Panthers will likely work on his cover skills but he has a great bend of instincts, quickness and tenacity. He has adequate size and the frame to get even bigger.
26. Dallas Cowboys (from Philadelphia Eagles) - Anthony Spencer, DE, Purdue
ESPN Analysis: Spencer is an explosive up-the-field player who has excellent initial quickness and closes well once he turns the corner, so he should make an immediate impact rushing the passer. He's also big and tough enough to develop into an effective run stopper. However, he may not be athletic enough to develop into an every-down outside linebacker.
27. New Orleans Saints - Robert Meachem, WR, Tennessee
ESPN Analysis: Although the Saints had other needs, they picked up a talented receiver in Meachem. He has the speed to stretch the field and open up the underneath routes for Marques Colston. He can also produce after the catch. However, Meachem isn't a great route runner and he needs to get more physical or corners will have some success pushing him around.
28. San Francisco 49ers (from New England Patriots) - Joe Staley, LT, Central Michigan
ESPN Analysis: Staley is a former tight end who has the quick feet to redirect in pass protection and the quickness to prevent edge rushers from turning the corner. He's also big and tenacious enough to develop into an effective drive blocker once he gets a little stronger, learns to keep his hips under him and use his hands.
29. Baltimore Ravens - Ben Grubbs, OG, Auburn
ESPN Analysis: Grubbs is the best available guard and he is a great fit for this offense. He is a powerful drive blocker who can open up holes in short-yardage situations and is always looking to put defenders on their backs. Baltimore should also be confident about his ability to hold up in pass protection because he has excellent quickness.
30. San Diego Chargers - Craig Davis, WR, LSU
ESPN Analysis: Davis made great strides at the collegiate level and there's no questioning his natural ability. He reaches his top speed quickly and he has the second gear to run past defensive backs. A playmaker with the ball in his hands, he can create after the catch and return punts as well.

NFL - 2007 draft - Last 2
31. Chicago Bears - Greg Olsen, TE, Miami
ESPN Analysis: Chicago should be excited about Olsen's ability to stretch the field and give their young quarterback a legitimate threat over the middle. Though he should also take advantage of the Bears' commitment to the run setting up the play-action, Olsen is a mediocre blocker at best. If he is to play an every-down role, he'll have to get a lot stronger at the point of attack and a lot tougher.
32. Colts - Anthony Gonzalez, WR, Ohio State
ESPN Analysis: With the departure of Brandon Stokley, Indianapolis needed a No. 3 receiver, and Gonzalez should slide right into that role. Though Gonzalez isn't as explosive as Ohio State teammate Ted Ginn Jr., he runs crisp routes, he isn't afraid to go over the middle and he doesn't drop passes he should catch.

NFL London game sells 40,000 tix in 90 minutes

LONDON -- The first regular season NFL game outside North America is shaping up as a hot ticket.
The first 40,000 tickets for the Oct. 28 game between the Miami Dolphins and New York Giants at the new Wembley Stadium sold in 90 minutes Wednesday.
"The speed in which such a large number of tickets were snapped up ... demonstrates the great excitement and appetite for the game in this country," said Alistair Kirkwood, managing director of NFL UK. "We know that the last few tickets available in this first batch will be gone very soon."
The first batch of tickets went to fans in Britain and the rest of Europe selected randomly from registered ticket requests.
Sales in the United States to Giants and Dolphins fans are expected to begin within a week. Further tickets will be released to fans in Britain next month.
About 10,000 fans are expected to travel from the United States, a fraction of the anticipated sellout crowd of 90,000.
Prices range from about $90 (euro66.50) to $180 (euro133), using a pricing structure similar to this weekend's FA Cup final between Manchester United and Chelsea.
