USD has 12 local players on its roster, and six start. McFadden said more than 3,000 tickets have already been sold behind the impetus of assistant coach Brian Quinn, mostly to area youth clubs that have produced many of the players on the field Friday night. Anything over 4,126 would make it the largest for any sport at USD in 2014, football and men’s basketball included.

That crowd, announced at 3,143, is considered the largest. They now know the original seating area on the stadium’s north side holds less than 3,000, and that they had to open the new seating areas for the first time against San Diego State in 2010. USD played several games with home crowds listed as “4,000 SRO,” but those were in the 1990s, before Torero Stadium was expanded to 6,000-plus seats by the San Diego Spirit of the defunct WUSA and became one of the nation’s premier college soccer venues. Of course, to break a record you actually have to know what it is. USD likely will break the attendance record for a men’s soccer game in San Diego. The other story tonight won’t be on the field, but in the stands. 1 teams three times in his career, most recently at Cal last season. 1 UCLA at 7 p.m., and while a victory would certainly be welcome to his 2-2-4 team it would not be unprecedented McFadden has knocked off No. So in some respects, what might happen Friday night up the hill at Torero Stadium is a crowning achievement for McFadden and his 35-year-old program. He was the coach back then, too, the only men’s soccer coach the Toreros have ever known. “We had maybe 100 people at our games,” Seamus McFadden said. There were a few rows of bleachers on one sideline. When USD started a men’s soccer team in 1980, it played games at what is now known as the Valley Field.
