The Voice

Some Austin FC fans noticed something interesting when watching Mexico play in the World Cup. The stadium announcer at Estadio Azteca, the largest stadium in Latin America, sounded a lot like the stadium announcer at Q2 stadium during Austin FC games. That’s because they are the same guy: Jeremiah Gallegos. From boxing to basketball, softball to soccer, Gallegos has two decades of stadium announcements under his belt. He sits down with host Juan Diego Garcia to discuss his career so far and how he got chosen for a once-in-a-lifetime gig.

Later, Juan and co-host Jimmy Maas reminisce about the 1986 World Cup with Ruben Pizarro, the Spanish language voice of Los Texas Longhorns.
