    I was watching Skysports today and they mentioned the possibility of the BPL coming state-side, as well as all over the world, and playing a competitive, regular season match in January. On the list of possible cities they had listed Miami as a possible host city :cool:. Now I know this is still 3 years away and I don't know where we can hold a game at, with the OB disappearing and the mythical proposed, Marlins stadium not finalized I can only see Dolphins stadium as a real option. You may be asking how Miami FC comes into play here and this is what I was thinking.

    I'm pretty sure that all our other professional sports will have a bigger impact on the English teams than Miami FC, but what I'd like for management to do is to whore themselves out to whoever the chosen teams are(If we are chosen). Not the best way to describe it, but seriously if we can get a big brother BPL team our possibilities are endless. With the backing of our local politicians :rolleyes: and a good presentation from management and city, we could move up to international status and increase our fan base. Just think we could get matches against other international clubs, transfer players between teams, and get the necessary funding to reach MLS status and possibly beyond.

    I realize that this may just all be hype and we would still need to wait a whole year as cities wine and dine the BPL so that their cities are chosen, but shouldn't we get the ball rolling for this possibility. I don't know anyone management wise, but there's gotta be a few regulars who do. So just propose this idea to them and see what happens otherwise I feel at the current rate we are going we may not be around 3 years from now.

    I wouldn´t take this proposal seriously yet...:cool:

    As for Miami FC getting a European big brother it´s possible of course but I don´t really understand how it would benefit Miami in the long run.
