Copa Minnesota

International soccer star David Beckham is set to visit Minnesota this fall. The Minnesota Thunder announced Tuesday that Beckham and the Los Angeles Galaxy will play a match at the Metrodome on Oct. 10.

The Galaxy will battle a yet-to-be-named opponent for the "Copa Minnesota" trophy. The Thunder hope to make the Copa Minnesota an annual event.

With Beckham's appearance, the Thunder hope to set a new, single-game record for attendance at a Minnesota soccer match. The Metrodome can hold up to 64,000 for a soccer match.

Soccer Fan USA's Take: I guess this gives people in cities other than MLS towns a chance to see Beckham. Overall spreading Soccer around the US. Not a bad thing.
