David Beckham: Out of Sight. Out of Mind.

Fri May 16, 2008 at 04:15:49 PM
Look for this guy's wife at Ghostbar Saturday night. Just a guess.

Remember last summer when David Beckham’s visit to Dallas, er Frisco, was a huge deal? Then, he tweaked an ovary or something and his no-show was even huger?

Now, turns out, Mr. Posh Spice will play at Pizza Hut Park Sunday to little fanfare and not exactly lots of fans.

FC Dallas, which hosts Beckham’s LA Galaxy Sunday at 2, just announced a last-gasp batch of $20, standing-room only tickets available at Ticketmaster or by calling their futbol offices at 888.323.4625. So, cool, must mean it’s an overflow sellout, right?

Right?!

Notsamuch. According to the club, a “limited number of seats in most price categories, including Field Side Seats, are also available.”

How quickly we forget? I don't think so. Try largest crowd in FC Dallas history. Better luck next time, Richie.

Grant says:

You might want to post an update/mea culpa as I heard on the radio they had a record crowd for this game...

I was alarmed that -- as opposed to Becks' first supposed visit -- this game didn't sell out in advance. But with no Mavs or Stars and a gorgeous day, the walk-up crowd was tremendous. Yes, Dallas futbol fans get a gold star after all. See you again next year.

As frustrated as I was with the FC Dallas defense, and especially with losing Adrian, it was interesting to watch Beckham taunt him all the way off the field. I was just waiting for David to get a 2nd card and kicked out.
