The MLS offseason is waaaaaaaaaaay too long for developmental purposes. EPL games ended May 17 and started Aug 11. 86 days. the non- playoff MLS teams (half the league) go Oct 6 - Feb 29 which is 146 days. And most of the playoff teams are out with a couple weeks of that.
I like the schedule. There are only a few weeknight games and those are a pain in the ass for those of us who don’t live really close to get to.
"NEWS: Bacon and Beer Classic Returns to Earthquakes Stadium on April 4" (SJEarthquakes.com - Tuesday, 2/11/20) GO SAN JOSE EARTHQUAKES!!! -G
".....and many more will serve dishes such as Kentucky Fried Bacon Bites, Pork Belly Sliders, Chocolate Bacon Cupcakes,....." Not that it really matters to anyone but myself...I did not go to a single home game last season after being a season ticket holder since Avaya opened and during most of the BS years....told myself I wasn't going to attend a game or buy Quakes merchandise until ownership made an attempt at being competitive.... that being said....beer and pork belly sliders just might draw me back.... Go Quakes.....
