A MLS USL team "will give up the advantage of winning" to develop less experienced players. Does that sound better for you. And yes, it is...
What is very unlikely...that if I had $500-million I couldn't (your view) get a stadium built in San Francisco or that I could (my view)? Or that...
MLS is expanding for really one reason. TV eye-balls. MLS is banking on further expansion to get them to the promised land of billion dollar TV...
I either wrote it wrong (most likely) or you're reading it wrong. Your theory (and Knave's): impossible to put a team in SF Mine: possible to do...
Your theories are the same as mine. Just theories. My quote of "snap of the fingers" doesn't admit to any sort of agreement with your theories.
And yet, SF Deltas are playing at Kezar because the city council (actually can't remember exactly what gov't body did) voted yes they can. The San...
Where have I said it would happen?
The thread was about (mainly by you and someone else) how an NASL team couldn't make it in SF. But, unless there is a statute that Kezar can't be...
Which part? Zubak started a game in May that McBean didn't play in. McBean started the game before and the game after (alongside Zubak). McBean...
I'll rephrase it for @Kombucha. Galaxy-2 had played Ethan Zubak (18) instead of Jack McBean (21 and now currently Galaxy senior team player on...
USL-1 (your AAA) would have 20 MLS Reserve/U23 teams (using current clubs) and however many independent teams USL could muster (currently at 28....
They essentially have two regional leagues now. How many games have been played between the teams in the west vs teams in the east?
Currently four reserve teams are in playoff positions with Sacramento Republic. In the long run the MLS reserve teams will be better competition...
I like this quote from the NASL commissioner... NASL Commissioner Bill Peterson articulated the reserve team concern well in an interview with...
Yep.
Kezar can't be demolished (is it a historical site)? Someone (or someones) can't pony up $500-million in private money to do so? The City wouldn't...
Starting play has nothing to do with a stadium (see Orlando/NYCFC), which is what I was referring to. LAFC's stadium deal is signed sealed and...
I know. I've driven south on both sides of the Bay (SF to SJ and OAK to SJ) in the past. Population wise, in other words TV eyeballs, there are...
Has anyone on the board nailed down the criteria for expansion teams? I'm sure some have opinions on what MLS's thinking might be. Other than...
For me, if San Jose only draws from the SJ/Santa Clara area, let a team have SF proper. I've always felt they were two different markets, much...
Yep, correct they did in the 2010s. My mind was remembering the early 2000s when they hovered around 2k. Different eras for the sport in this...
I don't see LAFC playing in the Coliseum. From 2016-18 Both USC and LA Rams will be playing football there. From March through July they could...
It's called the "Public Facilities Privacy & Security Act"
MLS went from 12 to 19 in six years (7 teams). So yes, going from 20 to 28 in five is most likely foolish and reckless. But 8 new teams in six...
How do you get a 40 game schedule with 28 teams? More to the point, why MUST there be 40 games? Same questions apply with your 32 team 46 game...
