Quakes to have PDL team in Burlingame

It's nice to watch fun attacking soccer for a change in the bay area.

 

Looks like the Dragons beat the Fuego tonight in Fresno 3-2 in extra time in the PDL playoffs.

interesting that Fresno is talking about a SSS:

Actually, that makes a lot of sense. They get a fair number of fans, and with a handful of Mexican games each year could probably make somebody bank. Mexican games in Fresnohave a great atmosphere.

 

Yeah ive heard this brought up over the last year, will be awesome if we get it done

 

I live close enough to Burlingame that I should really be going to some matches out there. For anybody who has gone, how was it?

 

College level at best.

 

I'm considering it too. I haven't been to a Dragons game yet, but their website says they have $79 STH early bird pricing. 2016 STH price was $99.

However, it also looks like since last season, they have had some significant attrition in FO, coaching, and stanford players. Interestingly, I just did some searching and figured out that the Burlingame Dragons and the Nachoria restaurant are owned by Nick Swinmurn, the founder of Zappos.

I was trying to figure out if Nori Cavallero, my old friend from Redwood League, was associated with the Dragons, but apparently not. The last I saw her I think was 2006 and she was running a Burlingame team that was playing at Woodside HS against I think it was the San Jose Frogs. Anyone remember the name of that Burlingame team?

 

I wasn't planning on season tickets as I wouldn't be able to make many games, I don't think, but at 79 bucks, the temptation is there just as a show of support for team and those players, anyway.

Thanks for the run down. I figured it would be a more family oriented experience, which is good. I am interested in development, in general, so it would be nice to see players trying to make their way up and examine the way they are coached. I used to enjoy watching the Cal State Stanislaus team back when I lived in the area. They weren't particularly good, but it was still interesting to watch how they approached everything. My only real complaint there was the running down clock that they used to have. Not sure if that's still part of college soccer or not.

Saw Stanford's Jordan Morris play live against the Dragons on a high school field -- after he had scored for USMNT against Mexico.

 

Yeah so how did he do?

 

Nothing memorable.

 

Typical college games..love all the running they do though....

Three coaches in 3 seasons......PDL club notwithstanding, are they a viable organization?

 

The dragons are one of the highest drawing teams in PDL, and the draw more fans than many USL teams.
