FC Cincinnati Draws Record Attendance For Crystal Palace Friendly

Nippert Stadium hosted 35,061 fans for last night's FC Cincinnati-EPL club Crystal Palace friendly, and the USL club claims that this marks the "largest crowd to witness a soccer match in the history of Ohio." The crowd was "dotted almost exclusively with orange and blue-colored garb, and the noise produced by those in attendance was deafening at times." The entire stadium "rose to its feet and applauded as the final whistle sounded." Crystal Palace Manager Alan Pardew said, "It's not often you have an atmosphere like that in preseason and not actually in a league game" (CINCINNATI ENQUIRER, 7/17).
