http://sports.yahoo.com/soccer/world/news/socceram/20020801/aleagueweekwrapseatt.html Good to see the return of A-League news to Soccer America. Hmm, funny thing. The editor has the same name that I do. Wait a second! That's me! I know some have problems with SA, but save it for my sake. Constructive criticism welcome.
Non-Quakes Sounds good--keep at it and who knows what will happen. Interesting to see that the Sounders played in the new Seahawks Stadium. After seeing the attendance numbers, the city could be ready for MLS if Paul Allen is willing to invest in the league, and a major coup if they get Microsoft to sponsor as well. A logistics test to run an event at that stadium, but still... Let one of us know if and when you plan to link it--we can do it for you. Cheers!
The Sounders have a really good team this year and have been tearing up the A League, but don't use the last game's attendance numbers to justify MLS expansion to Seattle. It was the first event ever in the new Seahawks Stadium, and I'd say about 80% of the crowd was there to see the stadium and 20% were there to see the Sounders. I'm hoping some of those stadium fans become Sounders supporters, but let's wait for the next game's attendance number at the old venue.
Sorry to introduce higher math to BS, but 20% of 25,000 is 5,000. Use a calculator if it's too hard...
