Tickets are available for December 11th's New York City vs. Puerto Rico friendly

It wasn't so long ago that the Bronx Blues whimpered their way into the offseason with a bare-bottom spanking at the hands of New England's Revs.

Now, we're just a few weeks away from your next chance to watch New York's newest team hit the field once again.

Patrick Vieira won't be on hand to lead the charge on December 11th -- the newly-christened gaffer isn't set to take the reigns previously held by Jason Kreis until the new year -- but a healthy portion of star power is expected to be on hand at the Estadio Juan Ramón Loubriel, the home of Puerto Rico's national side since its opening in 1974.

Tickets are available from $25 to $125. CLICK HERE to get in the game via PRticket.com.

But... what if you'd rather go for free? I mean, after all, good things can happen to bad people.

You're in luck! You can catch a dose of the freebie-jeebies on NYCFC.com: they're hosting a contest in which the winner receives two tickets, airfare, and a two-night stay in San Juan.

What better way to celebrate the halfway point between Thanksgiving and Christmas? It's all going down on December 11th. Be there... or be somewhere probably far colder.
