    I was wondering it the liquor store would make it or not. From that camera angle, it looked like the stadium could have been described as "out back of the liquor store".

    Seriously, that is a fine looking stadium.

    Big Top is still in the same quadrant as the stadium....they just moved about 100 yards.

    Well.. I'm sure this is going to go over well with getting Miami's stadium built... It seems to be on its way to being a campaign issue. (Juan Zapata is one of the candidates for Mayor of Miami-Dade County).

    Y'all know it's gonna permanently end up Inter Miami CF of Fort Lauderdale, right?

    I suppose the "CF" now stands for "Corpse of Fusion."

    Well one of the stadiums we thought was a foregone conclusion would start construction in 2019 is looking very questionable now. Nashville was supposed to open new stadium 2021 meaning construction would have to start this year. They just announced today they will not open the new stadium until 2022. Now construction starting this year is very likely not to happen.

    Also, with Miami just announcing they are planning to play at the Lockhart site until 2022 this means they also likely won't start on their stadium until 2020.

    Rezoning application in Austin suggests an increase in seating to 22,000 at McKalla Place (up from 20k). No upgraded stadium renderings yet, which would include a larger canopy at an additional $25 million dollars and the extra seating as far as we know. [​IMG]

    Not surprising the Miami suit lost. The other 2 will also lose. The public knew what it was voting on and a judge isn't going to overturn that.

    Does all the work that needs to be done to get Lockhart ready count as "new stadium construction"?

    Not for the bet me and @TrueCrew have. It is for the final stadiums for each team.

    Yeah. What was it? 5 I win, 3 or less you win, 4 a push?

    5 is looking doubtful. Cincy is already started. Still feel good about Columbus & Austin. Delays in Miami & Nashville.

    Though if Sac is #28 they could start ASAP.

    Did the dry run Saturday...

    Time from my driveway to Allianz Field, including parking the Bluecatmobile near U.S. Bank Stadium ($8) and taking the light rail over to St. Paul ($4)...

    55 minutes.

    11 days to the opener. :)

    Aw, give yourself an extra 40 minutes to grab a brew in Dinkytown before you hop the train. Admire the youts.

    You get our age, and a good warm-up is important.

    Congrats man.

    Only way Sacramento is #28 is if the proposed ownership groups in STL and PHX send Garber a dick pic.

    SAC is pretty much permanently friend-zoned unless and until MLS desperately needs another team for league balance and DET is still banging on about Ford Field.

    Holy f**k. Fire out of Bridgeview is reportedly a done deal:
