I know those do not include live numbers but I think if they did, it would be around the same ratio. 1. How much does the stream quality play into those numbers? I for one abandon the CHI vs WNY game because my eyes couldn't take it. 2. How much does having multiple games at the same time affect the total number?
It's not just about seats. For additional seats, you also have to add additional infrastructure. You can't just throw up 6x the number of seats and call it a day. (Calling @Mr. Warmth ) Also, seats do cost money. You'd be surprised.
I think the proper word to use here is: duh. You apparently did not pick up on the sarcasm of my post.
I just got a job cleaning up the mess a reasonably high fee architect made by laying out his site development via google earth photo. Yeah, he's lucky that I'm saving the Owner more than it's worth for the Owner to go after his E&O insurance. Something somehting, topography
Mr. Warmth. If you are an architect, I apologize, because you obviously know what you are doing. As a civil engineer, I would advise any land developer (private, institution, commercial, etc) to never let an architect do a site plan. And if a civil engineer used Google earth to do a site plan, that is very sad to me. And now back to our thread.
If? I was not aware that was in question since my name is like the 4th most googled topic on BigSoccer. I'm also a practicing city planner, so I know a thing or three about development & infrastructure. Should I take pic of my ego wall for verification? Depends on what you mean by "do a site plan", doesn't it? You guys know your shit front and back for engineering, but on average for laying out building placement, site features, amenities, views, vistas, that's not your bag. You guys just love to scrape off dirt & trees and make everything level & start over. Makes the math easier I suppose. The landscape architect's really like to push their way into it site planning as best they can around here since they can do grading & drainage now, but they really go light on the stormwater pipe and like to use that stuff that crushes too easy. "Just plant your trees & bushes, shrubber and take your drainage to the retention/detention pond." An Architect is fine for a site plan private residence, as long as the site isn't too goofy. We still get taught grading and whatnot and have to pass that section of the ARE that makes you show how to move water around. But, any more than that and I'd be a fool to to do the civil engineering for utilities, grading etc. (I really do love my little stamp) Not to mention, the state engineering board here prosecutes and fines Architects that attempt to practice civil engineering on anything more than a private residence. And they'll go after you on that it you ******** it up. It happens more than you'd think, particularly with sole practitioners trying to keep all the money they can, but someone has to turn you in. For this little disaster, it was all screwed up and overpaved site layout that got presented to and approved by the Owner before the Civil got pulled in to "make it work". For my projects, the Civil is the first guy I call and we walk the site before we even call the surveyor and geotech and I don't start by laying out the Nuremberg Parade Grounds w/o knowing the Owner's budget just so it makes a pretty aerial plan. Saved the owner close to 2 million by cutting out the unnecessary 4 lanes of C&G paving and a ton of earthwork Tallyho
Didn't mean to crank you up! Thanks for the download; very interesting..... Predicted attendance this week: 31,500.
That's pretty bold! Even if you think the Thorns will bring in ~20k, that'd be ~3k each for the other three games - more if you look at a more reasonable 16k for the Portland game. There's a midweek game, too, and Chicago will be back at Benedictine. I would be shocked if the four non-Portland games averaged 3k each, unless Boston really surprises.
Usually followed by the word troll, right? Trolling... like usual. (ps, this is just a joke, I don't personally have anything against you, I just know your reputation)
To be fair, I am not quite sure how I could have been expected to. But, fair enough. There is enough delusion going on in NWSL fora that most sarcasm detectors are rendered inert. Apologies.
That's God-King of Trolls. Man, I haven't been down this far since mu "oprahloveswusa" & Linus Van Humpenpillow sockpuppets were still alive I believe I was summoned Tip o the hat then and off to cause trouble elsewhere
I think you take this forum way too seriously... It's not like Arnim is gonna read this thread, see my post and exclaim, "Why didn't I think of that?!?! It's so simple and easy!" I'm sure he's more intelligent than that, and he's probably already considered the location and turned it down.
1,754 in Seattle tonight. At least it's more than their 2nd home game last season... (which was also their smallest crowd last season: 1,011)
And unless I am mistaken, that match was also against the Spirit. The Spirit only bring crowds on the road if the match is on TV.
I was expecting less than that so I think for a wet wednesday in April, this is a good number. If they continue to average 400 - 700 more compared to last year, I expect we will see that number rise steadily during the summer.
Interesting tidbit I found for mid-May: https://www.facebook.com/events/269856166517714/ Unfortunately it'll still probably be a low-attendance week overall with half of the games in midweek (unless WAS and SEA can step it up, since they in theory have mid-size stadia)
If the league ever grows big enough (boost in attendance, and 12+ teams), then I'd like to see: - Monday Night NWSL Match (Monday Night football is during the NWSL offseason, so no conflict here) - All Star Weekend Festivities, and All Star Match or tournament (possible invited European club team) - At least 6 teams in playoffs - Award the top 2 teams in table with a "BYE", #1 team has home field adv) - Sunday Night Game of the Week (on national TV, every week throughout the regular season) - New Jersey Try-on tradition - between two chosen players from opposing teams before each match. *Jersey Try-on tradition is when the two players take off their shirt, exchange, and try on the opposing shirt for a sign of mutual respect for their opponent. The crowd then roars with their respect. They then switch back to their usual shirts, and then the match starts a minute later. This promotes good sportsmanship and fan attention. This new tradition would get new awareness and attention for the league, both domestically and worldwide. And that is never a bad thing.
