BREAKING: We'll make our @USL debut March 25 at home against @OrlandoCityB at Al Lang Stadium. #USLKickoff pic.twitter.com/2QG8Cs3u0H— Tampa Bay Rowdies (@TampaBayRowdies) January 27, 2017 Obvious pick is obvious.
I believe that MLS Headquarters is located in Times Square. That's probably why Edwards paid to have the #MLS2StPete hashtag. That's my guess anyway.
Yeah it's about a couple blocks away apparently. One of MLS.com's senior editors snapped a picture of it on her walk back from work, so they noticed it.
Agreed, but opening with Orlando City's third and fourth stringers wearing jersey numbers in the 60s and 70s...ugh. Still it's Orlando City's third and fourth stringers.... So let's just kick their butts and sell the place out to show MLS we're ready.
The full USL schedule is out on the club web site. Link at... http://www.rowdiessoccer.com/news_article/show/751975?referrer_id=2824806 The Rowdies start with three in a row at home (Toronto 2 and Ottawa after OCB). The first road trip is a back-to-back to Louisville and Cincinnati. There are two midweek home games (July 6th vs. Cincinnati and October 4th vs. Red Bull II).

Mr. Edwards doesn't screw around. He means business. Bill Edwards and Rowdies entourage descend on Major League Soccer offices with bid package http://www.bizjournals.com/tampabay...edwards-and-rowdies-entourage-descend-on.html

From the official Twitter account @tampabayrowdies: Wolfsburg legend Marcel Schäfer has signed with the Rowdies ahead of our @USL debut. Good move, TB needs a strong performance this year. New league and MLS aspirations.
I guess he heard good things from the kids who played here during the Florida Cup, haha. Apparently he was a left back for Wolfsburg but may move up to midfield here. A good sign that we can still sign guys like him.

Absolutely agree! The more Tampa Bay does to prove it can not only survive, but thrive is going to help for expansion to MLS.

Nice, all home matches will be broadcast on WMOR ThisTV in the metro area! http://www.tvnewscheck.com/article/...s-WMOR-To-Kick-Off-Rowdies-Soccer-On-March-25
Seriously! I do not have cable, just antenna and Sling TV so it is nice to be able to watch it this season when I cannot make it to the game.
This is a good move for the club. I was getting a little worried with the late timing, although it seems like this announcement has always been pretty close to the start of the season. It's better overall since WMOR is likely to be on DirecTV and DISH along with other platforms like Sling that Stephen mentioned.
Cool way to promote the Rowdies during the Grand Prix of St. Pete! .@WFLA How about Soccer? @MLS ? @TampaBayRowdies are SO ready!!!!!#rowdies #TampaBay #StPetersburg pic.twitter.com/OfzmRGrh1O— Eagle 8 WFLA (@8_plamison) March 11, 2017
