Attaboy!
I think St. Louis would be a good shout. The STL/KC is a good rivalry in any sport. I think it's good to pick cities that would have rivalries already in place. Could give it that extra edge.
While we're at it
Not happening anytime soon. FFS, clubs in England and Scotland have been falling into financial ruin after getting relegated. Would be almost impossible for teams in the US or Canada to pull it off. The gap between the top tier and the lower tiers is just too vast--and it's getting to that point in Europe as well.
Been a while, but St Louis used to be the symbolic center of soccer in the US. Not sure on the bid status there though.
loving playoffs has nothing to do with it. there just aren't enough teams to make three or four divisions for that. not enough interest to support it. there's just enough interest and money for one division.
He's getting Montreal. This I am 100% certain of.
The main issue is that no owner would want to buy a team knowing that they might not be in the top division the next season. It could be seen as a horrible return on investment.
Not yet. Should I? I've heard mixed things. Still, someone needs to let the air out of this town. Great place, but too many folks taking it way too seriously.
yeah, that's my understanding as well. It's a shame, but it's a holdover from back when nobody was laying safe money on the league surviving. I don't know what will be needed to free things up. Probably more general interest in soccer translating to better funded and more ambitious league below the MLS clamoring and bribing for a shot at the big time (by US soccer standards). Can't see anything loosening the grip of the rich owners other than more/richer owners.
It's worth a look, its pretty good at taking the piss out of everyone who takes themselves way too seriously in this town. Saying that it is a bit hit or miss
I noticed that they are showing it at 4-4-2. I'll give it a gander.
Can't say I know any nice Daves.
We had the Blizzard a while back and the Bills and Sabres get really good support here. If the Bills were gone there would be a big void that an MLS team could fill. Buffalo is bigger than Rochester too. The HSBC arena should be capable or RW Stadium would be empty if the Bills left. There are a good amount of football supporters here and I think an MLS team could be viable.
Why
My guess is because that's when the new stadium will be ready, but that's a lot of games to go through until you get to your first home game.Why
Clark sucks, no loss there.
Doesn't need to be big like gridiron football. Anything 20-30k would suit.
