HD Center Pics: Any new ones???

Home Depot Center Soccer Stadium VIDEO

 

Dude, I see this and I can pull a "Poindexter".

The Magpie

 

That looks like the picture that appeared in USA Today. The article discussed whether the WWC Final would be at the Rose Bowl or HDC. I'm of the mind that group play could be at HDC and the Final at RB.

 

In the Galaxy forum someone posted that there are nine new photos on the Galaxy website.

 

The bottom 9 thumbs are new.
At the Galaxy site.

from la-soccer.com

they're not putting real goals in that place?

 

yeah, shame on them if they don't...

 

PLEASE tell me that is just temporary

I personally will buy the Galaxy the goal equiptment if not

 

I still can't believe my freakin eye's. Somebody pinch me.

 

Thanks for the link MD_05

Those are some great pics.

What trophy is this?



That is one nice looking trophy!

 

That's the Dewar Cup. Previously awarded to the winner of the US Open Cup. Don't think it is anymore.

 

Thanks Jerry.

Check out the movie tittled "The Soccer Stadium"

and let me know what you think of the Goal

I agree with Treetaliano in hoping that is only a temporary goal.

If not we at bigsoccer may have to start a tradition of providing each new stadium built in MLS with a set of Box-goals. How much does a set cost / 250,000 = X amount of $ per person. It can be done.

 

I hope not as well. If you look at the other pictures on that site you'll notice that they only have a goal at the one end. Why? I have no idea.

 

Pitch runs essentially north-south. Tunnel from dressing rooms enters field at south east corner. Dressing rooms etc. are under the Stadium Club restaurant on south side of field.

 

Are people allowed to sit, stand, lounge on the grass area above the goal end seats?

 

they can easily change the cut of the grass on a game-by-game basis.

 

Last time it was presented at a victory celebration, IIRC, was 1999 when Rochester beat Colorado in Columbus.

Winning team's names and year won are still placed on the base of the trophy, and the trophy is still taken from city to city, just that the "presented trophy" is different.
