I honestly don't know. I was just pointing out the lack of surrounding development. The new idiot mayor of Sandy....what's his name? Bobby Newport? Anyway, that moron has pissed off a lot of real estate developers and I'm pretty sure DLH is not too happy with him. There's plenty of room for transit-oriented mixed-use, high-density development that the valley sorely needs but the NIMBYs in Sandy elected an anti-development mayor and council.
Sam Stejskal: 3 young American attackers who may emerge in 2018 Lennon is mentioned, but Saucedo is featured.
This already aired last night. He said 2 years out, North goal, 25,000-26,000 capacity. Edit: Also Dunny criticizes the supporter groups a little.
To be fair, the weather hasn't really cooperated and allowed the SG's sufficient time to bring their A-game at the start of the season...
The MLS guys are all high on RSL. In this video they brought up a few things: First, Bobby Warshaw likes L. Silva's role on this team and how the other attacking players play off of him. I totally agree with him and believe Silva's role on this team's success last year was highly underrated. I don't see him giving up his starting spot to Ortuna easily. Second, they feel our outside backs are questionable. "Henley has a weird reputation. Hasn't played in a couple of years." Do we know about that weird reputation? I remember seeing him play a premier league game a few years back. I think he was 17 or so at the time, and I thought he could be a player to watch in the future. Third, the team also made a comment about Acosta. Doyle: "We already saw a little setback with Danny Acosta, who I thought would be starting left back." Warshaw: "That's kind of a heartbreaker, isn't it?" Doyle: "It is. But I think he's a good kid. His heart's in the right place. They've got to get his head in the right place." Do we know what happened? Did I miss it?
The plan since the stadium was built was always that they could add about 4,000+ seats on the North end. I actually asked Bill Manning about expansion in 2008 and at first he laughed at me. Then he said the reason they set capacity at 20K seats came down to 3 factors: 1) they didn't feel the demand was there yet to go beyond that, and 2) an extra 4K-5K seats has a ridiculous price tag to it, AND 3) the city requires extra parking to be made available.
There's plenty of parking available if they allowed people to park on the public streets that surround the stadium.
No doubt but I'm still pissed it was built in their "space". Screw Sandy and the BS politicians and Larry Miller that put it there. Can't wait for next Saturday!
I'm sure it would be pricey, but would it be possible to build a multi level parking garage in the west lot?
I’d be curious how close the parking has to be. There’s plenty of room in the west lot for a garage but maybe DLH would want to build something at the Expo TRAX stop next to the new school.
They'd need a subsidy from the city. I don't think any govt entity will give them any more after the blow out from the RSL "value reassessment" stories that came out last year (which allowed RSL to pay much less in taxes).
If you sign up to sell parking spaces, you get 10% off your own space, 20% of what you sell, and 5% of the proceeds generated by your downline.
1st rule of sports and entertainment construction: why pay for it when you can get public tax dollars to pay for it. (Not speaking about DLH just in general)
Cool offer from the wider franchise: tickets to the openers of RSL, Royals, and Monarchs for a total of $35. I'd take that, for sure.
That's true for any business. I've worked for municipalities that gave incentives to certain businesses and businesses that shopped their locations to several municipalities. My current city is actually doing the opposite, though; there's a business some influential people don't want, and it's being held up.
