So, yesterday was the official unveiling of Rooney. United had a press conference at the Newseum. They had never hosted anything like that before, and while maybe it didn’t pull quite the numbers that David Beckham arriving in Los Angeles did, there was a decent gathering of press in attendance.
I’ll compare it for a moment to what the scene was last year when the club introduced Paul Arriola, Russell Canouse, Bruno Miranda, and Zoltan Stieber. That event was held in the batting cages in the bowels of RFK Stadium.
