Let's keep this thread to college and PDL teams in Michigan, while keeping the high-school games to the high-school forum: https://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?forumid=261
Your posts always seem to have this green haze over them, Nacional. No wonder you get sleepy. (I first thought the green was a cool use of color, now I'm just finding it hard to read. -- Steve)
They should look at bidding for NCAA College Cup games, and LHUS Open Cup finals: a 20-30K "downsized" field would be great for those games. I heard someon say that they like the amount of sideline space between the football boundary and the wall---much more than the S'dome. That also kind of told me that it is wide enough for soccer.
Ford Field >>>I heard someon say that they like the amount of sideline space between the football boundary and the wall---much more than the S'dome.

"but ford field has field turf... same crap as naperville... not to mention the football lines... unless you heard they were talking about bringing back "turf in trays" again." I'm no authority on turf, but I've heard that Naperville is the low end stuff and Ford Field is state of the art.
"Christos had a very supportive argument that a renovated Tiger Stadium could be a successful location for a new MLS Detroit franchise, instead of building an entire new stadium." My idea is to have a stadium on the current Tiger Stadium site, but the current TS has to be torn down, as it is falling apart from the inside, anyway. My other ideas are the State Fairgrounds, and the current Train Depot, near Mexicantown. Talk about site selection might be moot if Duggan has a site already picked. "Steve recommended that fan club organization should begin well in advance of the actual arrival of the team." I said that? My point was that if a fan club got started, it should be simple name that anyone, anywhere would understand what it meant. So it has to have some comination of Detroit/Michigan/Mid-Michigan and MLS/soccer in the name. No strange words like "ultras" or "barnburners" or "northenders" should be in there. "I informed everyone that, in my discussions with Dan Duggan..., it was in our best interest to support his already-started movement.... Another meeting to chart progress will be held soon, according to Dan.... All of us should attend that meeting." Good. Waiting for the meeting. Although if Duggan's movement is more on the business side than a fan's movement, then a seperate fan's movement can be considered. (But since I am already involved in one volunteer effort, I couldn't be the one to run this hypothetical fan club.)
thread dead??? hey.. no one is posting? is this thread dead? ive seen its dropped to page 2... come on guys, where is all that witty banter about kicking chicago's ass etc???
wow it is dead too bad... this was an entertaining thread... what happen to Michael Polonaski? Davids26? anyone else going to CCS on the 14th for their last home game of the season????
I'm still here; just very busy. HUGE win for the Crew tonight! There will be four of us from Detroit at the Crew game Saturday night. We are in section 205; come on bye. Mike
I"m here as well, soccer season is in full swing and I'm just busy as ever. Mike sorry for not getting back to you sooner, but my coach regrettably declined the offer for a game. He said he couldn't see where we could fit you guys in. Hope your season is going well, we're currently ranked 6th in Division 4, but we just suffered our first loss of the season last saturday to Grand Rapids Baptist. Our record is now 5-1-0. I'll try and check out these boards more often.
I hope that everyone took a moment today to honor those who fell on this date one year ago. 9-11-01 9-11-02
did you guys make it to 9-14 game did you guys make it there? great game!! first time there and definately not my last!!! we are already making plans for next years trip... how lucky was i? got to see both goals and the sweet PK save by Busch... not a very good spot kick by hristo... but none the less, saw a stoning on the pk... suh-weet.... what an impressive stadium.... had a great time in the supporters section.. a lot of singing... just a bit of drinking... a great time!!!
Perhaps the best game I have been to at Crew Stadium ever (with the exception of the USA-Mexico clash in February '01). 90% sold out, great atmosphere, two excellent goals, and Busch's stoning of that fascist Stoichkov's pk was the best! I have never seen Crew players shoot so much; it was great! Even Cunningham, who traditionally has to dribble up to the one-inch line before shooting, uncorked several good ones from outside the box. I'm still buzzing.
what a game yes... we saw both goals at our end... first goal was a bit shakey.... but the 2nd goal was a good follow up for the first shot... yeah, busch stoning hristo was excellent.... great crowd... i think it was more than 90 % filled... but who cares.. great crowd... great game.. great result... we will be back next year.... thanks to Zak and the rest of the V Army for the hospitality at the thistle... that has the makings of a great soccer pub... they are a fun bunch of guys... we sang "who ate all the pies" on the way home....
Hey, I'm glad to hear you guys had a good time. If you're a Crew fan, it was a proud night. We took it to them like no other, and we celebrated like rock stars after. Well, except LoveFifa, I think I heard his wife calling for him or something.
Let's see...hang out with Bailey getting wasted at the Rose and Thistle or get a regular piece of ass from the wife. Not much of a choice. Have fun working out that forearm muscle while the girl's away studying abroad with those greasy Europeans.
how many variety's of ass does your wife serve up? And what made you order the regular on that particualr night? by the way. I own a large van. I when the playoffs begin I can drive everyone.
