I hate to be picky....but it's the Rapids, not the MetroStars.

They are like a virus. There's probably an antibiotic you can take to get them out of your system.

Alabama huh? What's with Birmingham these days? Are we gonna have to make a "Birmingham?" thread in the MLS: Expansion, Stadium, etc boards?

God I hope not. That seems like it would be one of the worst venues to have to play in during the summer. Texas is bad enough with the heat that they get, but add in the additional humidity that is in Alabama and that region, and it would just be absolutely miserable.

Who owns/runs the stadium that these birmingham games are being played at? I wonder if there is some kind of connection there (e.g. friend of somebody who is making these decisions)?

We'll be driving over from Atlanta for the match. Any Fire fans in the Southeast planning on going?

I'll be bringing a 10' by 6' Fire montage banner to hang, so look for it before the match.

Game is tomorrow. Any Fire fans coming to the match?
