For those who couldn't make it, here's the video from yesterdays get-together. The video sucks but just close your eyes and listen to the audio.

Part I:


Part II:


Part III:


Please note: I missed the very beginning, where Mr. Stover spoke about the Magee trade.

Thanks for the vids, Viper. That's great for those of us who couldn't be there. Stover was refreshingly honest about the economic situation and the effect on the DP situation and the practice facility. If this was ten years ago, Stillitano would have probably announced that they were delaying the practice facility because they wanted to build one of solid gold for Baggio's arrival.

I thought the most interesting part was his answer to the question regarding the salary cap after the new CBA. I expected him to just talk around it, but he didn't (around the 2 minute mark in the second video, for those who want to hear it). While there has always been bigsoccer speculation about where the cap might go, this was the first time that anyone who is actually in the know has given an estimate, as far as I can recall. His estimate of a $5 million cap was actually higher than I would have expected, though it was good to hear. His confirmation that Red Bull has been one of the owners pushing for a higher cap was widely assumed, but it was nice to hear it confirmed.
