What if they ran a reserve league March/April and Sept/Oct. They could run a PDL team during the PDL schedule, they go back to Reserve League games? March Reserve April Reserve May PDL June PDL July PDL Aug PDL/Reserve Sept Reserve Oct Reserve That way you get 16 games during the PDL schedule, they spread say 18 more Reserve League games 8 in Spring and 10 in late summer/fall.
I've been out of this for awhile and don't really want to look back, but Puget Sound get a PDL team. http://www.uslpdl.com/home/780681.html TERRIBLE logo/crest.
I thought you were only joking about the name, not the logo. Also, the PDL schedule and divisions is going to be released on Friday.

Schedule and alignment are out now. 64 teams, it looks like. Including 8 new ones. Since there were 65 teams last year (that number may have included Bermuda, who folded early on), that means we lost some. Let me see if we can figure out who's gone.
Okay, they say eight new teams and several name changes, but they don't mention the Pali Blues becoming the Orange County Blues FC, which means that's going to be the name of the USL Pro team's rebrand, surely. New teams: Albuquerque Sol FC, Cincinnati Dutch Lions, Floridians FC (formed by the merger of Ft.L Schultz Academy and an existing club), Lane United FC, Las Vegas Mobsters (please), Montreal Impact U23, Pittsburgh Riverhounds U23 and San Jose Earthquakes. Out: Central Jersey Spartans, El Paso Patriots, Kansas City Brass, Oklahoma City FC, Ottawa Fury, Virginia Beach Piranhas and VSI Tampa Bay. That's seven out (OKC went to the NSPL, I would presume Ottawa pulled out because of their new NASL team) and seven in (with Floridians taking an existing spot with their merger), giving us 64 again (because Bermuda folded very early last year). OKC would be the only one-and-done team among last year's new clubs, and they didn't fold, just pulled out. Sad to see the Kansas City Brass go away, though, they'd been around a long time.
Now that VSI Tampa Bay is out, what will happen to their plans for a SSS ? VSI Tampa announce $400M Soccer Stadium Plan - The Scoring Third www.scoringthird.com/.../vsi-tampa-announce-400... 28/11/2012 - VSI Tampa Bay FC will formally announce plans for a 28,000 seat retractable roof soccer specific stadium in Tampa on December 11th
Also the El Paso Patriots and VB Piranhas have had a long history of soccer, if not in PDL but in other leagues. Sad to see them just kind of disappear. Both towns at one point had Division 2 pro teams.
I went to a bunch of Patriots games when I was a student at NMSU. Dudley Field, an old baseball stadium was right across the border from Juarez, and next to the zoo. Interesting place. The Socorro Activities Complex was a HS football stadium in far east El Paso, I saw one of the hottest games I can imagine there. It was a US Open Cup match a saturday afternoon in June against Tucson something. It was about 95 degrees at kickoff. I also went to a coaching clinic with the Patriots where they brought in Steve Sampson.
