    Maybe not the entire season, but I think there will be some solid attendance numbers over all.

    I would consider it a success for NY at this point, to average around 20k by seasons end. It's a step in the right direction.

    If this club could sign a DP that the fans could relate with, it's possible that the attendance will keep going up from mid season towards the end of the season.

    A Raul or Henry would pretty much guarantee a sellout for the rest of the season. Which would be 7 home games. But even a raise to 20K would be HUGE +8,000 in one year?

    Re: Red Bull Arena Construction Thread 8 : Enough Waiting for our Fully Operational Death Star Alrea

    Hmm, a designated player that I could relate with? So he has to be in his twenties, underpaid, with a low to medium fitness level and sit out on Saturdays and Jewish holidays. I would prefer one that will play well like Juan Pablo Angel and not one that I could not relate with. :D

    Re: Red Bull Arena Construction Thread 8 : Enough Waiting for our Fully Operational Death Star Alrea

    That's your take on that! Red Bulls fans want a talented player that fits well with the team and in the end will help the club to become a success. That's what the fans want and will relate with, not players with big names that comes to this club on vacation like in the past and didn't add anything to the club! But I'm sure you meant the samething as well in your remarks!:D

    It really all depends on your definition of "relate with". I prefer to use Bill Clinton's, in which case I'd have Hope Solo in goal... :D







    (and no, don't even go there with DP status!!):eek:

    Not much news until the first game, so...flags on the flag poles? When? What? There will be an United State of America, City of Harrison and New Jersey State flags? Or will they stick with their namesake and fly NYC and New York State flags? I believe the Chicago Fire fly both the Bridgeview and Chicago flags, iirc.
