CONCACAF Champions League match a pleasant surprise for South Texas soccer fans

When you think of venues for the CONCACAF Champions League, it’s natural to think of some of this hemispheres great cathedrals of sport. Estadio Azteca in Mexico City. RFK Stadium (RIP) in Washington D.C. Montreal’s Stade Olympique. It’s also natural to recall some of the more eccentric stadiums like the old Estadio Tecnológico in Monterrey with its view of the Cerro de la Silla.

You’d be forgiven if H-E-B Park isn’t the first place you think of when you think about a CONCACAF Champions League venue. For starters it isn’t a very big venue, holding 9,700 people.
