They have officially given up the ghost. They weren't in the PDL schedule. Sad as they were playing nomadically across smaller and smaller RI stadiums, community colleges and High Schools............
Yeah it looks that way. http://www.oursportscentral.com/services/releases/?id=3944947 The Rhode Island Stingrays, Cary Clarets, Fredericksburg Gunners, Virginia Legacy, Austin Aztex U23's, Rochester Thunder, Fort Wayne Fever, Bakersfield Brigade, and Cascade Surge did not return for 2010.
The last game I went to was on a nice Friday night, not overly hot, certainly not cold, free parking and in greater Providence..................probably only 50-70 fans turned up to Providence College Stadium to watch. It was actually sort of a sad ending. No programs No advertising No beer No merchandise No true ticket (just a generic RI STINGRAYS one) No sponsor boards Just 50-70 fans watching on a beautiful night for soccer.............
