The ESC was contacted last night by Mr. Sakiewicz to advise that the Metrostars have indeed concluded a deal for a stadium. There will be a press conference to announce the stadium to the public. Our club would like to extend a sincere "Thank You" to everyone involved in completing the stadium deal. If any ESC members are in the area, please do everything possible to attend today's event, sing songs, and rejoice positively & publicly that our long NJSEA- imposed nightmare is finally over. You can find the library here. Map Harrison Public Library 415 Harrison Ave Harrison, NJ 07029 Tel.

Leaving for the PATH station in about an hour...to take a trip i plan on taking many many times in the future. Got my digital and will post phots of the event and the likely drinking binge in the Ironbound after the announcement.
Hopefully the new stadium will have a good sponsor with a decent name. You know, none of that Domino's Pizza Stadium, KFC park, or Viagra center.
-- and how long till the stadium is nicknamed the douche bag? If Viagra sponsors it, at least we can call it The Erector Set.
