Angel delighted with new Red Bull Arena

New York Red Bulls star Juan Pablo Angel believes the new Red Bull Arena is the best for soccer in the USA.

The arena is set to be officially opened on March 27 against Brazilian club Santos and the Angel is extremely excited about the brand new venue.

"I have no doubt this is the best stadium for soccer in this country. I'm excited about it," the Colombian ace said.

"People will get an experience they have never had in this country in a soccer match. And the response from the supporters has been phenomenal, people are excited, and it's up to us to keep it going."

The new stadium will have a capacity of about 25,000 and is more like a European-style stadium with a translucent roof that covers the fans but not the field.
