5 of the 7 games on ESPN 2 are Metro home games, so if you like the 7:30 p.m. kick-off time, you're obviously dissapointed. For the Shep haters, it's 7 less times they have to listen to him (although I personally like listening to him). Will be interesting to see the national ratings since it's the first season where the Metros don't have a so-called marquee-name player. http://www.metrostars.com/metronews/submissions/2004/february/02202004v1.shtml
They really managed to butcher what looked initially like a very good schedule. IN the end, there are only 5 Saturday night games. We get a bunch of Sunday at 6 p.m. games, which doesn't strike me as much more attractive than a Wed. night game for most people. Really disappointing, but I guess a lot of it is G.S. bs that we'll be rid of if we ever build our own place. jeremy
