Superclasico!

For those amongst my readers hailing from the Piedmont region and believing that the Carolina-Duke game is pretty much it as far as sports rivalries go, may I recommend that you tune in to the Fox Soccer Channel (thanks Mike and Brendan for your sponsorship) and check out the series of "Superclasico" match ups between the Buenos Aires cross-town rivals Boca Juniors and River Plate. This is cash money. These people care about their teams, and it's good soccer.

BTW: From a blimp view of the stadium spied a parking lot, couldn't have held 800 cars. Google maps confirmed that this was the only dedicated parking for the stadium, which must seat 70-80,000. Think about getting all those people out of there. They must have to stack subway trains up at stations outside the stadium. It could take hours to clear the neighborhood. It would be a good place to own a cafe, if not a bar.
