I'm guessing your having a bit of fun. But here's the guy they are talking about. http://louisvillecityfc.com/charlie-adams/
I expect that with decent weather we can get to 7,000 attendance vs. St. Louis. Fans are eating up merchandise faster than they can stock it.
Wouldn't it be great if the Coopers get to the point where they wrap around home plate? Or start sitting on the second level? That would allow for sweet tifo and goal celebrations, and would look a lot better on Youtube broadcasts. By the way, are there any plans to get new announcers for the games? I can't stand watching the broadcasts because of those two
I would like for some help from you guys in relation to a project that I am doing. I am using the FIFA 10 PC game to create the teams of MLS, NASL, USL and some NPSL teams. Since you guys know the players can you rate the players for this team? Also if you know who the captain of the team is that would be helpful as well. Please keep in mind that ratings for MLS players are between 60s and 70s and NASL players from MLS are between 50s and 60s. So USL players should be between 40s and 50s. Here is the team I need help from you guys to rate: Louisville City FC Current roster[edit] As of February 12, 2015 [9][10] No. Position Player Nation 2 Defender Bryan Burke United States 3 Defender Adam West United States 15 Defender Sean Reynolds United States 17 Defender Austen King (on loan from Carolina RailHawks) United States 9 Forward Matt Fondy United States 14 Forward Ilija Ilic Serbia 16 Forward Nate Polak United States 18 Forward Cameron Lancaster England 23 Forward Sidney Rivera (on loan from Orlando City) United States 1 Goalkeeper Scott Goodwin United States 13 Goalkeeper Greg Ranjitsingh Canada 4 Midfielder Aodhan Quinn United States 5 Midfielder Conor Shanosky United States 6 Midfielder Tarek Morad United States 7 Midfielder Kadeem Dacres United States 8 Midfielder Juan Guzman United States 10 Midfielder Magnus Rasmussen Denmark 11 Midfielder Niall McCabe Ireland 19 Midfielder Guy Abend Israel 20 Midfielder Enrique Montano United States 94 Midfielder Charlie Adams England
In second with a game in hand. Hopefully we can get Abend back shortly to help with depth. O'Conner is going to be a hot name before we know it. Absolutely don't want to lose him but have to think he would be on a short list for several MLS teams, let alone in Europe.
Captain-Fondy I will give you tiers of the team: Gold-Fondy, Burke, Dacres (speed), Goodwin Silver- Rasmussen, Shanosky, Guzman, Morad, Montano, Quinn, Adams Bronze-the rest. Abend can't really rate due to injury but suspect silver. Anyone have a differing opinion?
Well, this happened - http://www.courier-journal.com/stor...bility-starts-stadium-and-mls-talks/31994727/
This will likely help them get the 9k USL stadium ... and anyone that pays for that is crazy not to design it for expansion (for MLS or otherwise). There will be some disappointed teams that don't get into MLS at some point, but hopefully they'll have some decent stadiums sized approprate for USl and their market ... and for the future, who knows.
Louisville, KY (November 2, 2015) — Louisville City FC announced today the club will host open tryouts ahead of the club’s 2016 season. The tryouts will be held at Collegiate Fields in Louisville on Saturday, December 19. http://louisvillecityfc.com/louisville-city-fc-announces-open-tryout-dates/
Louisville, KY (November 11, 2015) — Louisville City FC announced today that the club’s General Manager, Amanda Duffy, has been promoted to President. Under the leadership of Duffy, who is now the only female president in the United Soccer League, Louisville City FC thrived on and off the field in it’s first year of existence. “Amanda has demonstrated that she is an incredible resource to our ownership and organization,” Louisville City FC principal owner Wayne Estopinal said. “Her knowledge of the league and the many operational facets have clearly helped Louisville City to have a great start. We are pleased to announce this much deserved promotion.” The North Carolina native and East Carolina alum was named the General Manager in December of 2014. Louisville City finished the 2015 season with a second place finish in league play, and second place in attendance in the USL. With Duffy leading the charge, the first year club was immediately able to establish itself as a prominent pro sports franchise in the city of Louisville. “The success we experienced in our first season generated a lot of opportunities for Louisville City and everyone involved,” Duffy said. “I look forward to working more closely with our ownership and leading our front office team as we look to become the unparalleled standard-bearer in USL and position the club for the next level of professional soccer in the United States.” Amanda Duffy and Louisville City FC will kickoff the second season of professional soccer in Louisville in March. Season tickets are available and can be purchased at LouisvilleCityFC.com/2016tickets.

You kind of have that mutual respect from some of the younger guys,” Goodwin said. “As a team, we had a fairly young team, so even guys like myself who are only 25 years old are some of the veterans on the team. It’s a great position to be in, and the coaching staff really backed us up there and helped.”
http://sbisoccer.com/2015/12/louisville-city-eager-to-join-mls-expansion-race “Everything has been very preliminary,” added Amanda Duffy, Louisville City’s president, “whether it’s with Major League Soccer executives or other MLS owners who have helped us create that path and what it’s going to take for us to get to the MLS level. We understand where that focus needs to be and the critical components to taking it to the next level. “We still maintain a great relationship with Orlando City, even without the affiliation, and we have relationships with owners in USL and MLS owners that can help us with our plan, with our path and give us the best advice to get to where we want to be.” In order to make that step, Louisville City knows the top priority is securing a stadium project.
To me ... the goal for clubs like Louisville (and even Sacramento until they get an MLS expansion) is to do something similar to San Antonio. Build at 10-15k stadium that has room to expand ... even if you're left at the alter, you hope to still use that 10-15k stadium as a lower level team with success and provide a quality atmosphere along with some quality soccer for your fans.

http://louisvillecityfc.com/loucity-adds-to-backline-with-former-mls-defender-ben-newnam/ In December, Louisville City FC announced most of the Eastern Conference finalist’s backline would return after a 2015 season with the second best goal differential in the league, at plus-21. Tuesday, the club announced it bolstered its defense with the signing of former Colorado Rapids defender Ben Newnam. “I am very excited to be joining Louisville City,” Newnam said. “It is an honor to work with a team that is led by coach (James) O’Connor and his outstanding staff. The club’s aspirations fit with mine and I am enthusiastic about the tremendous support the team gets from its fans.”
http://insiderlouisville.com/lifestyle_culture/louisville-soccer-club-prepares-for-sophomore-season/ Luther said that without the club, he wouldn’t be living here. During his military career, the Michigan native and retired U.S. Army colonel had come to appreciate life as a soccer fan in Europe and other places. During his last assignment, at Fort Knox, he lived in Louisville, and when he retired in 2013, he said he wouldn’t live in a city without a professional soccer team.
Apparently he did until the 2015 season, just saying. Now that Louisville City has cornered the retired military euro associated football fan demographics, onwards to creating a fan base that will make MLS consider Louisville a "must have" market.

Sweet! Hopefully this means new announcers. The guys on their Youtube channel were just painful to listen to
NYRBII preview for match at Louisville: http://www.empireofsoccer.com/preview-nyrb-ii-makes-first-road-trip-to-louisville-46479/
Currently watching a feed of the LFC NYRB match and noticed the great Bob Valvano calling the game. I never knew he was broadcasting soccer. Is he a regular for LFC matches? I've been a big fan of his for years and was sad when he was no longer on ESPN radio.
