    PEORIA, Ill. -- Major League Soccer teams Colorado Rapids and Chicago Fire will battle at Bradley University's Shea Stadium in the qualifying round of the 2011 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup.

    The lineups for Wednesday's game could feature two players with some local ties. Fire midfielder Baggio Husidic twice played against Bradley during his college career at Illinois-Chicago and was a starter when the Flames ended Bradley's NCAA record 24-game overtime unbeaten streak with a 2-1 victory Sept. 3, 2006 in Chicago. He also started UIC's 1-0 extra time win Sept. 29, 2007 at Shea Stadium. Meanwhile, Colorado defender Kosuke Kimura played his college soccer at Western Illinois, playing four games against Bradley (1-3), including three at Shea Stadium. The Leathernecks held on for a 3-2 win Oct. 17, 2006 at Shea Stadium to end a eight-game losing streak against Bradley.

        Highlights of the game were just shown on ABC7 in Chicago! The Fire won 2-1. Someone (or more than one) set off a smoke bomb during the game. The sports anchor called it a new "Fog Bowl", referring to the Bears playoff game in the late 80's that was played in dense fog.

          ... At the end, of the storm, there's a golden sky. And the sweet silver song of the lark. Walk on, through the wind, walk on, through the rain, though your dreams be tossed, and blown. Walk on, Walk on with hope in your hearts, and you'll never walk alone!
          I'm behind you 100% Bradley Braves, You'll Never Walk Alone! BEAT STATE!

            I do not find any attendance figures that were made official...
            but this comment gives an idea...
            "2,000-plus supporters in attendance"
