Pretty interesting idea, however i wonder if this will have the desired effect. I could see it going the other way
Makes some sense...Philadelphia's only SSS isn't actually in Philadelphia and is a lot harder to acess via mass transit than CBP. Maybe if it had paved parking lots... Seriously though, I am surprised the Union aren't somehow partnered with this. They are the biggest professional club in the area, it would help them connect with new fans, and would expend their scouting network for local talent.
The Linc would be a better venue. Soccer matches in baseball fields just doesn't work very well, imo. Or try and hold it at one of the college fields. On another note. Any Philadelphians of Ukrainian descent out there interested in doing this? I can run for a solid ten minutes, and I'm six foot tall, so I've got that going for me.
