Hugo, it's just one way like another. :) In Italy, Juventus did sort of a similar thing when they put little squres of the Stadio Delle Alpi on sale. Except this once the principle was that throughout the entire season, the location goals would be scored from would reward the square owners with prizes. Needless to say that pieces closer to the goal were more expensive than those further away from the box. And no, I haven't heard of the 'caganer'... what are they? LOL Steve I guess you could say that…
