For the third time in history the Major League Soccer’s champion will be crowned The Home Depot Center, as the stadium that is home to the L.A. Galaxy and Chivas USA will host the MLS Cup on November 23, 2008 in Carson, Calif.
“The pageantry and top-notch presentation of two previous MLS Cups and the inaugural SuperLiga final prove that The Home Depot Center is a superb stage for national and international showcase events like MLS Cup 2008,” said MLS Commissioner Don Garber.
In 2003, the San Jose Earthquakes defeated the Chicago Fire, 4-3, in front of a sold out crowd of 27,000. The following year saw D.C. United lift its third MLS Cup title with a 3-2 victory over the Kansas City Wizards. The past two MLS Cup Finals have been at Pizza Hut Park in Frisco, Texas, and RFK Stadium in Washington, D.C.
“The LA Galaxy are honored to once again be hosting Major League Soccer’s premier match, MLS Cup, at The Home Depot Center,” said Galaxy President and General Manager Alexi Lalas. “We feel that we have the best fans in MLS and I can think of no better way to reward them for their support than winning our third MLS Cup in front of them at home next season.”
The Home Depot Center, which opened in the summer of 2003, is the National Training Center for the U.S. men’s and women’s National Teams. In addition to two MLS Cups, the stadium has hosted numerous memorable soccer matches, including the 2003 Women’s World Cup Final, the 2003 MLS All-Star Game, CONCACAF Men’s and Women’s Gold Cup matches and this year’s inaugural SuperLiga series.
