Soccer United Council survey (Or: Let's Discuss MLS' Calendar Some More)

Was there talk of playing it in Austin?

 

Hey now. Scott's opinion is not necessarily representative of all soccer fans in the Seattle area.

But, I can think of 40,000 reasons why USSF will think about moving the game to Seattle. Not that they actually will do so.

 

That's not fair. Mexicans could easily sell out the stadium. Seattle alone has more than that many Mexicans. Don't think Mexicans would only buy 40,000 tickets...

 

I can think of 2 reasons they won't (it would have been 3, but Dempsey).

 

Might as well blow up the thread I guess.

 

And Seattle doesn't have a single US soccer fan?

LOL. This fear that keeps cropping up is easily the stupidest of fears not to move it out Columbus. It's not like there isn't a large population of Mexicans within a few hours drive of Columbus.

That being said, I'm certainly only advocating that they move it out of Columbus.

 

You quoted the wrong post.

 

Sorry. Sometimes sarcasm and jokes don't come across as well when in response to dumb comments.

 

Club before country!

 

How about "Soccer is fun and I find it fun when I have a rooting interest"?

 

I just love this kind of "sorry you are so dumb you can't understand my brilliance" post.

 

Well, I think one thing is obvious. The Super Bowl needs to move to May. Just think what the ratings would be if it was in May instead of February! And with a winter and spring break, that would also allow the players to heal so that when I go to a game, all of the star players are there and I don't have to watch any backups.

 

Apertura/Clausura for the NFL?

 

They are going to add two weeks to the season at some point. August, not May.

 

And here we go again, on March 22nd!

 

Postponements are a way of life and business, as needed, for outdoor sports league.

Everyone will be fine.

 

I think it's obvious that Colorado wouldn't have scheduled a game for this weekend if the calendar was flipped. They would have scheduled it for last Sunday at 3PM instead, obviously.

 

Chances are rising that tomorrow's indoor game in Montreal will be postponed to Sunday. Too much snow on the roof.

 

Exactly, come spring and summer everything will be fine!

 

Summer's not so great. It's often too hot and humid.
And MLS has decided to take off two weeks in June anyway (to get out of the way of part of FIFA's long international call-up period).

I think there are a few week in April/May and a few in Sept/Oct in which MLS should really try to schedule all of their games.

 

Ooof the 5 day forecast for Montreal:

Yeah, but that's in C. So that's like shorts and t-shirt weather, right?
