Organisers of the November 1 match between USA and the All
Blacks in Chicago are confidently predicting a sell-out with
49,000 of the 61,000 tickets already snapped up.

If Soldier Field, the home of the Chicago Bears, is sold out
then it would be a record crowd for a rugby union match in
the USA.

US Rugby will need to bring in as much money as it can from
the game. Earlier in the month it was revealed it had had to
pay US$1 million to cover New Zealand's costs for playing
the match.

It will be the first match between the two sides on American
soil since 1980.
