    Nope. It is a very new HS stadium. Base capacity is 6500, but apparently can be expanded to 11K, if needed. It has a 2-level Press Box that includes 4 Suites.
    I have not heard them say ANYTHING about wanting to go to MLS. And I'm GLAD! One of the owners has spoken to me several times about why they WOULDN'T want to do that.
    Anyone who has read my posts knows that I HATE how every time a new USL team is announced, the league seems to have a boilerplate that they attach to the press release about the team's aspirations to "Get the hell out of THIS league as soon as possible and get our asses to the MLS Promised Land, where we belong!" To me it just leaves the sense that THIS is not the good stuff. THAT(MLS) is the real thing.
    Sooo...what happens when the rubes believe you and come out and support your team, thinking it is a dry run for the bona fide article. And then you get passed over? Backlash. Disillusionment. Support Fatigue.
    I'm glad to be in NASL, and so is the ownership that I've talked to.

    Hasn't been announced as a signing yet, but one of the players tweeted a picture from training camp and Robbie Finley is there in training gear. Would be great to have a player with actual USMNT experience.

    A lot of former Scorpions on there with Forbes, Menjivar, Chaves, Gibson and Fernandes. Going to root for OKC as my NASL team, since the Scorpions are no longer.

    So what does the starting XI/gameday roster/depth chart look like? Formation likely to be played, etc?

    This team is looking impressive, wish they had a more impressive location and hope they have some success!

    Thanks!

    The .gif does not, however, show the ensuing cross that led to the 2nd stoppage time goal to beat the Galaxy.
