Red Bull Hoped to host Super Club Pre-Season Tournament

It appears that Red Bull was hoping for Becks not to be the only big crowd draw at Giants Stadium this summer.

An interesting piece of information from Ives Galarcep's preview of the Beckham game this Saturday night:

"Red Bull attempted to plan a tournament featuring the likes of Manchester United and Barcelona, but that didn't get very far."

A tournament like that would have done wonders for increased international visibility of the club and to draw more fans to Red Bull New York games and events. Not to mention that a tournament like this would have done alot of good for the Red Bull bottom line. It's nice to hear that Red Bull had plans for something like this, even if they didn't "get very far".

Hopefully Red Bull will be able to host something of the like in the future.
