OK, so US Soccer did another of those random draw things to come up with the possible matches and possible locations (which we now know are very fluid) for the 4th round of the US Open Cup. For Real Salt Lake if we should win on Tuesday, May 29th then we would:
Real Salt Lake (MLS)/Minnesota Stars FC (NASL) Winner at San Jose Earthquakes (MLS): Cagan Stadium, Stanford University; Stanford, Calif.; 7:30 p.m. PT
OR
Fort Lauderdale Strikers (NASL) at Real Salt Lake (MLS): Rio Tinto Stadium; Sandy, Utah; 7 p.m. MT
OR
Fort Lauderdale Strikers (NASL) at Minnesota Stars FC (NASL): National Sports Center; Blaine, Minn.; 7:30 p.m. CT
So our fate depends on who wins between the San Jose Earthquakes and the Ft. Lauderdale Strikers
