Rio Tinto Stadium will host at least two friendlies this summer: The one pitting RSL against Manchester United on July 17, and one just announced: A July 11 friendly pitting Club America against Monarcas Morelia.
Rio Tinto Stadium hosted Club America in a friendly in 2009, and that match was on — strangely enough — July 11.
This friendly is particularly interesting, given Monarcas have been rumored to be looking at Joao Plata as a potential acquisition.
Lower-end tickets are certainly more expensive than a typical match at Rio Tinto Stadium, although the upper end isn’t totally dissimilar.
