Frisco, TX - Sitting on the sideline passing popcorn to his Messi clad children, Barcelona kit wearing David Hughes stated to his wife that he was surprised they built a soccer stadium out in Frisco just for this Messi game.

Just a short commute from the stockyards.

“Seems a bit wasteful to build this thing for just one game,” stated Hughes, “But what do I know, that’s probably why these tickets were a thousand dollars a piece.”

Hughes started following Barcelona when they were the best team in the world and his passion for following the best team in the world has allowed him to watch every Manchester City game over the past year.

“It’s really a once in a lifetime opportunity to watch him play,” stated Hughes. “Well, this is actually the fourth game we’ve gotten to see him play as we saw a few games in Paris when we were there a few years ago.”

The Nutmeg News will have more on this as Hughes considers flying the family out to the next Messi away game for some more local soccer.
