I thoroughly enjoyed John Zant’s article about the Gauchos hosting the 2018 College Cup. Truth be told, I am an Akron fan and former Akron soccer player. Your piece brought back vivid memories of a wonderful outcome for our Zips in 2010.

Although I could not attend the game at Harder Stadium, my former teammates who did echoed your thoughts on UCSB becoming the permanent destination point for the Men’s D1 Final Four. Excellent field conditions, perfect weather, just the right fan capacity notwithstanding. My mates spoke glowingly about how nice everyone was and how genuinely excited the UCSB contingent was to put on a fantastic event.

Mission accomplished!!
