The blast are in a 4K seat arena. You are not counting the seats that they push back, As for the Floor Next time you are at the arena count the pieces of carpet they are 15 ft wide Unless 12 FT Pieces were added some place, Honestly that would make no sense at all Because your cutting off 28.33 square yards of carpet off of two bolts of carpet. Now It is highly possible that the Blast Special ordered that carpet in a 12ft wide x 85 bolt and that would make the arena 120 ft long. So you could be 100% correct it could be smaller then what has been told to me. I was told it was 85 x150 I know for a fact that Mohawk and Shaw only make this carpet once a year and the bolts have always been 15ft 4 inches wide. After the dyeing process it's dried and then glued to the padding and pressed under pressure and then cut down to have a perfect 15ft seamed edge to them. They only run this product for a week to two weeks and then make Normal everyday Astro Turf comes in 10ft 12ft and 15ft withs.
Harrisburg can add seats like they did in the NPSL days. As for Utica I am not sure what that place hold I honestly never looked.
If...seats are pushed back...no one can sit in them, right? So....why would those count? They're literally playing in a different building than in the NPSL days.
Well the private rooms that you cant see on camera can hold at least 1K people The actual seating Capacity is 5,200 according to there website. The Skybox can hod like I said 1K with ease. I honestly don't know how many seats are taken out to set up the arena floor.
Two big Harrisburg Heat items. They are relocating to Hershey and will drop down to M2 for one season (the one season is theirs and MASL's words, not mine). https://www.maslsoccer.com/news/masl-and-harrisburg-heat-release-joint-statement
The red lines are 50 feet right? That's 100 feet. The center circle is 30 feet right? That's 130 feet There is five feet or less between the circle and the red lines. Even if you generously say it's 5 feet on each side that's only 140' total.
It's pretty wild that no one knew the Heat didn't have dates for 2025-26 when Keith Tozer went on the record that there would be 10 teams this season. Unless they all thought Hershey Arena would pull 12 dates out of its ass by the end of that day.
I could see the trouble finding 12 dates at the Giant Center, but the old Hersheypark Arena? What's got that place filled up?
Hersey Park Arena has a ton of concerts that they book to attract people to the theme park. When All time Low preforms they sell out that arena, Since the Band is from Baltimore they have a huge following in PA.
Looks like the last time they played the stadium - not the arena - was 2016, and Blink-182 was the headliner. Doesn't look like they played Hershey on their headlining tour in 2023 or on their headlining tour in 2024, or really, very often at all. Baltimore, Washington, Philadelphia, sure. Played Harrisburg in 2021. The number of things you state confidently that are just wrong is still stunning.
Rumore is floating around that Tozer stated that Miter will be the Ball sponsor this season and that we will be going back to a red ball. I have looked all over the place, and I have not seen any new miter designs posted anyplace. My best guess is it will be the same ball as last year only in red.
That's crazy, So why is Keith Tozer discussing a Red Ball? I wish they would just pick something and stick with it for once
hahahahahahahah On his Last pod cast he never discussed the ball. But he wants to start a premiere league for Women's indoor soccer. with 6-8 teams Then wants relegation between M2-M3 The M3 Champion would move to the M2 Now M2 teams could move to the M1 if they meet funding and arena requirements He wants to get rid of plastic walls, and go back to the original hard walls After having a sponsorship deal with a company That made the plastic walls. He also wants teams to own their own arenas. Well the last time I looked you don't see a lot of Arenas up for sale. What this is going to do Is Force out the Baltimore Blast and they will have to fold or change leagues if they want to play. Ed Hale has tried several times to build his own arena and it never happened. What happens to Milwaukee if they decide to redevelop Panther arena to retail space? Do these teams even have another arena to go too? Instead of Building the MASL he has destroyed every aspect of it IMHO.
