Hey, I typed in "MLS stadiums" on google and found this site: http://www.usasoccer.iwarp.com/photo.html Sorry, don't know how to do the automatic link thing! Has anyone been there? It talks and shows a plan for a stadium for D.C., among other predictions regarding MLS. The writers claim to be on the inside of MLS, Anshultz, MLS agents, etc. I can't find any dates as to when it was made or don't know how credible it is. Anyone know anything about it?
Yeah, if I remember correctly, those plans for the D.C. stadium are actually the plans for some European stadium.
Thanks, thought it was too good to be true to find a place where us peons could find real information about MLS. Why is it that MLS is secretive about EVERYTHING!?
Exactly what are they are being "secretive" about that you wish to know? Maybe we can help. I think MLS is probably average as far as information dissemination, and getting better.
If he knew about what they were being secretive then it musn't have been very secretive. I miss Mr. Rumor.
1. MLS says we are going to expand and they put out this list of cities, months go by and all you get is rumor. It would be nice to know who is under serious consideration. What investors are actually interested at this point, who is serious about building a SSS, etc. 2. Salary cap - I have seen so many different numbers it is ridiculous. 3. When are they going to bring back the Mutiny. They have always had the best name and uniform.
1) The list of expansion possibilities has been more or less stable this year. The prime suspects are OKC, Tulsa, Seattle, Houston, Philly, with a few others being more remote for the first round of expansion. 2) I've only seen one number for the last six years. 1.7 million. What other numbers have you seen? and where? 3) The Mutiny are never coming back. While a few of their jerseys weren't awful, they has as many stinkers as most of the league. It's possible that Tampa Bay area might one day have another team, but I would be shocked if they were called the "Mutiny".
I have seen the usual list. It seems that everyone and their brother has a reason why this city is the front runner and why this city is out. Rochester is in becuase it willhave a SSS. Rochester is out, it is too small. Seattle is in, MLS needs to get out west, Seattle is out, no investor, etc. It would be nice to get a real sign from MLS as to who the front runners really are. I have seen various articles in Soccer America, 90:00 minutes, among other mag/newspapers that talk of a salary cap. I have seen anywhere from 1.2 to 2.4 million. Of course, these articles usually go on to say that this cap really doesn't exist, along with the league maximum salary. Dude, the Mutiny had the coolest logo!
