Just released this afternoon, here is the schedule for the Michigan Bucks' 2010 PDL season: * Wed., 5/19 @ 7:00 PM - at Cleveland * Sat., 5/22 @ 3:00 PM - hosting Dayton * Wed., 5/25 @ 7:30 PM - at Kalamazoo * Sat., 5/29 @ 7:30 PM - hosting Cincinnati @ Canton Cup * Thu., 6/03 @ 7:00 PM - at Chicago * Sat., 6/05 @ 7:30 PM - hosting Cleveland * Sat., 6/12 @ 7:30 PM - hosting F.C. London (U.S.-England @ 2:30 PM) * Sat., 6/19 @ 7:30 PM - hosting Indiana * Thu., 6/24 @ 7:30 PM - hosting Kalamazoo * Thu., 7/01 @ 7:30 PM - at F.C. London * Sat., 7/03 @ 7:30 PM - at Dayton * Wed., 7/07 @ 7:30 PM - at Cincinnati * Sat., 7/10 @ 7:30 PM - hosting Chicago * Thu., 7/15 @ 7:30 PM - hosting Toronto * Wed., 7/21 @ 7:00 PM - at Toronto * Sat., 7/24 @ 7:30 PM - at Indiana One benefit to this year's schedule is that six out of the eight home games will be taking place on Saturdays, including 5 straight between 5/22 and 6/19. I see the potential for a big soccer double-header coming up on 6/12...as I noted above, on the day that the Bucks host F.C. London at 7:30 PM, earlier that day is the big first match of the World Cup between the U.S. and England. Mark that date on your calendars...should be a great day for some football in this area!
A couple of questions about the sched' The schedule on the league site, says that the June 5 home game is site TBD. Is there a question about the USA for that day? The Canton Cup game is at 7:30? Lighting to be used? May 22 is also the UEFA Champions League final. If the UCL final is played in the European evening (our afternoon), then the Bucks game will be at the same time. I also think it is a typo, that the league site has the games in the CDT time zone.
6/05 is most likely listed as TBA because that is the weekend many high schools in the area have graduation ceremonies. Lake Orion and Pontiac have used Ultimate for this purpose before, and my guess is that they the ownership of Ultimate may be holding 6/05 open for that reason. They did hold a Bucks game last season concurrent with the graduation ceremony of one of the Pontiac high schools, and it was a bit of a madhouse, at least from my perspective. In 2008, the Bucks played a home game at Lake Orion High School for that very reason.
