Deuce Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 This looks so rubbish being played in a baseball stadium. Why are the goals like those you'd find down the leisure centre? Pretty crazy how there are exactly 0 pro-standard football (both types) venues in the entirety of New York City. They could play at the Meadowlands, but that'd defeat the purpose of being "NYC's team," apparently. But yeah, crap having to play it in a baseball park.

Kanji Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 If he somehow makes it to Toronto or NYC FC after both seemingly have Bradley, Jozy and Villa, Lamps I'll be angry. De Rossi - Okugo behind Kaka pls. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deuce Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Minnesota expected to be announced as the next MLS expansion franchise (after Atlanta, LAFC, and Miami, if they get their stadium sorted). Sacramento pushing forward with plans to build a downtown stadium and make their own bid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanji Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Minneapolis and Atlanta are the good markets there. Miami is an awful sporting market man. Not so big on Sac Town either. But if it's downtown then okay Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Ah but they love forcing rivalries. MIAMI NEWTEAM and Orlando have hated each other since the DAWN OF TIME. RIVAL WEEKEND. zommggg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deuce Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Miami, as with most everything Miami, will be a gilded turd. Glitz and glamour amounting to fuck all. Massive, presumably soccer-following Latino population that won't give a single fuck about the team. Sacramento has potential to be the new Portland Timbers, small-ish market with rabid support. Really like the idea of a downtown stadium, would fit in nicely with the city's revitalization effort. Atlanta will be playing in Arthur Blank's love child stadium, so it has that going against it. Because Garber's perfectly willing to buck his own "you must build a soccer-specific stadium before I give you a franchise" mandate when enough money comes down the pipeline. And Atlanta really isn't a sports town, at all. I really have no idea about Minneapolis. Apparently they have a fairly sizable soccer fan population. Doesn't seem like Minnesota United pulls the same kind of lower division support that Orlando, Seattle, and Portland had before they made the jump to MLS.

Kanji Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Minneapolis has a ton of other economic growth factors to feel good about what's driving the MLS bid and thinking. Downtown Minneapolis has transformed and is only getting better. It's a major growth market for Upper Midwest. SacTown is an Orlando situation with Downtown stadium, all good. Miami is a shit fucking idea and I hate it, like all Miami teams that have awful sporting support and loyalty. I think ATL will be OK, there is a ton of money going into this development and the younger professional crowd in ATL continues to grow, i think it'll be an OK team.

Ameritoon Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Having two teams in the bay area and none being San Francisco is a bit of a joke. Minneapolis is a good call though, would like to see St. Louis and Detroit fill out the midwest eventually, but only STL is actually likely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ameritoon Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Btw, Wahl says Ronaldo's current plan is to come to MLS in 2018 after his contract runs out. Would be nice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Yeah I know, but the name recognition of San Francisco, no one gives a s*** about San Jose. Name recognition of SF 49ers and they are straight up in Santa Clara too though. These outskirt teams make sense in major markets given the densely populated and developed major cities.
