I guess it was only a matter of time before the American brand of football invaded soccer's cathedral. AEG should make a pretty penny, plus they can promote good will amongst the locals. Carson vs. Banning used to be one of those big-time SoCal high school rivalries. I will talk to my nephew, a current Carson student, to try to gauge the excitement level of this upcoming gridiron clash. http://www.latimes.com/sports/la-sp-hsdailyreport24oct24,1,1490241.story?coll=la-headlines-sports On a related note, I hope we won't be seeing football lines during MLS Cup game. The field caretakers would have a little more than 2 weeks to rid the field of those unwanted panty lines.
It was part of the deal. Besides, it's good public relations and community involvement... And let the kids know what a "cathedral of soccer looks like..."
At least the tide has turned...instead of a soccer club renting out a football stadium, football teams are now renting out a soccer stadium.
