Isn't this the match that was announced as being on the East Coast?
Interesting question. It was an 8-month ban, right? Seems to me it began in November timeframe. Anybody else remember more accurately? That...
It's been a long time since I've been there -- but isn't there already a place called MetroPark -- the Amtrak station in the Iselin area?
Funny - I had the exact same thought when I saw the schedule. You don't suppose they'd hold these without the Olympians?
For the first time ever (since '96) I find myself hard-pressed to get excited for the season opener. No offense to the guy, but driving 2 hours...
I seem to keep hearing whisperings that there will be a soccer festival only in 2004, not a league revival, which is hoped to come around in 2005....

Weather is supposed to be pretty good for Thursday - enabling the last minute walk up crowd. However, local coverage has been minimal from my...
