Interesting article. The Spurs are well liked there and have all the office infrastructure they need. they will need a soccer-saavy salesforce, but on the whole the financial advantage of having two teams in one front office is obvious. It has not hurt the Wiz any that I can tell. The dome would suck, but if the Spurs sign the contract to build an outdoor stadium like the new Rapids owner did, it works. The thing to do is have Monterrey play the Burn there, see what happens.
Just two things, promise If other futbol club across the world have basketball or tennis teams, why not San Antonio Spurs having a San Antonio Spurs soccer team? Still.......
