US Takeover Tour Week 5 Dates and Venues

The FIFA 10 Takeover Tour has been on the road for almost four weeks now bringing the game to footy fans all over the US.  Over the past week, the East Coast team has set up shop at numerous GameStops through Philadelphia and Baltimore where they also set up in the ESPN Zone to pack crowds.

The team also made a stop in Roanoke, VA where  the state’s largest youth soccer tournament was being held.  They set up at two different fields where kids played more than 1,000 games!

On the West Coast, the team made GameStop visits in Portland, San Francisco, San Jose, and Redwood City.

The tour set up at Danny Coyle’s pub, one of the top soccer bars in San Francisco where many of the fans watching the Man U and Chelsea game found time to take in the sticks as well as the game on the big screens.

The team also made a stop at the Mustang Soccer Complex in Danville, CA to an awesome turnout at the private facility.  For those that didn’t make it to the complex, the crew set up at a large GameStop in Danville where they were able to run a 16-person tournament with the winner receiving a PSP!
