SHEDEVIL30 Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 Nationwide Arena in downtown Columbus, Ohio will play host as the training camp for team USA for the World Cup. Columbus has dedicated this week as Team USA Week and even changed the name of the street in front of Nationwide from NAtionwide BLVD to Team USA Blvd. There is to be a huge welcomming ralley to introduce the team to be held later on at local mall, as well as other festivites planned to celebrate the week. It is so nice to see my hometown get excited about somthing other than OSU football. They are opening up the practices at the arena today to the public. So I will get to check out the team before the prelim game against Canada on Monday night. Which we have tixs to also. I will be excited to see all my fav players on ice at the same time. I will not know who to watch the most Brodeur, Sakic, Neider, Lang, What a great dilema. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRafalski Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 Nationwide is a fantastic arena and the downtown area district is very enjoyable. I try to attend at least 10 games a year plus nothing beats walking to the arena with the Devils. The Hyatt is a great place to stay there, one block from the arena. I didn't get a chance to go down there for Team USA's practice games, so I envy you. Have fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
