UCLA to host 2004 College Cup

UCLA was selected to host the 2004 Men’s College Cup by the NCAA Division I Men’s Soccer Committee on Thursday.

The games will be held at the Home Depot Center, which is currently being built by the Anschultz Entertainment Group in Carson, Calif.

“UCLA is honored to be selected to serve as host institution for this fine event,” UCLA Athletic Director Dan Guerrero said in a statement. “The combination of experience in hosting NCAA events and a world-class facility will provide an environment of which Southern California and collegiate soccer would be proud.”

The Home Depot Center will open June 1, 2003, and will be the home of Major League Soccer’s Los Angeles Galaxy beginning this season.

UCLA won the 2002 Men’s College Cup, which was held in Dallas, Texas, and was hosted by Southern Methodist University.

The 2004 Men’s College Cup was also supposed to be held in Dallas, but with stadium renovations, good field conditions could not be guaranteed.
