Recent Beat Story

I found a story in the Baltimore Sun by Ken Murray entitled, "In Baltimore, a question: Why not a World Cup?"  It discussed the upcoming game to be played at M & T Stadium between European soccer teams Chelsea and AC Milan.  It also went on to discuss the possibility of Baltimore hosting the World Cup in 2018 or 2022.  

The article was informative, but I think it should have talked more about the upcoming game, as the amount of tickets sold show how well-received a World Cup match would be in Baltimore.  I would have also added some quotes from city residents or those who will be attending the game in July, telling how they feel about the World Cup being brought to their city.  Some pictures would have also brightened up the story and given it a little more life.  I would have, at the very least, added a picture of the stadium, and perhaps the World Cup logo.  The original story can be found here.
