The Official PayPal Park thread

You thought the field looked bad before, wait till they take all that crap off of it.

 

Yeah, maybe we didn't have a great year and the field was in crap shape, but hey "Enchant" gonna be lit this year!!

 

Reminder, for no particular reason: Christmas In The Park opens on 11/29 and is free.

 

Fisher must be making a killing off of these Enchanted Evenings!

Probably even enough to pay for the 2025 Quakes roster!

 

Hypothetically, if the Earthquakes were to host the MLS Cup this Saturday and if PPP were to be occupied with this Enchanted Forest, where would the final be played?

Just curious.....

 

I don't know how or why the Quakes would want to give the other team an advantage of hosting a final if they don't have to.

Next, year for example, if San Jose are the team with the best record and suddenly find themselves hosting the MLS Cup Final, I don't see how Enchant can logistically dismantle everything the week after Thanksgiving weekend.

 

Haha! Fat chance of that happening any time soon.

There is already a glitch. TM has expensive, front row tickets available now without any required presale credential.

Edit: According to an email I received from US Soccer:

Platinum Onsale
Ticketmaster Platinum tickets are the most in-demand seats, limited quantity available now.
These tickets are available now to anyone for purchase!

 

Not a bad textbook example of how trickle down economics works!

 

Sure seems like SI will go bankrupt again before they pay for all those naming rights.
Kinda like what happened to Avaya…

 

It's the kiss of death. BTW, is Intermedia still in business?

 

The stadium FC Dallas is building for their MLS Next Pro team:

Former mayor attempting to bring Major League Soccer team to Mesa

Former Mesa Mayor John Giles said the city has started to look seriously into the possibility of bringing a Major League Soccer team to Mesa.

“I think that would be a huge thing for the Valley,” Giles said Friday on KTAR’s AZ Political Podcast. “If you talk to other big metro areas, I’ve been to visit other mayors, and these are mayors with NFL and NBA teams, and all they can talk about is MLS because it’s just such an amazing fan experience.”

While the greater Phoenix area currently has the Phoenix Rising, a professional team that competes in the United Soccer League Championship, the USL club plays in a second-division league on the American soccer pyramid.

The Rising also play in a temporary stadium, near Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport, that holds just more than 10,000 spectators, so a new stadium that meets MLS standards would need to be built before an MLS team arrives in Mesa. The MLS’ smallest stadium, PayPal Park in San Jose, California, has a capacity of 18,000.​

 

Not.gonna.happen.

 

Great! We get called out for having the smallest stadium in the league. Are we the smallest city too? Why do we have the smallest stadium? And why are our fans soooooo damn far from the field? I swear, we have to be the dumbest team in the league.

Go Quakesfans!!
