Grand Rapids Football Club shoots to bring minor league soccer to West Michigan in 2015

Hoping this gets off the ground and is successful, esp with NBA D-League coming to town. I'd assume they'd want to be playing against Muskegon and other Michigan teams?

 

Seems like a fun idea but the execution has to be spot on.

Lol at the fact that they put a football picture in that article
