    While not a fan, I still have fond memories of Barcelona placing Unicef on their shirts and paying them.

    Compared to the players I've seen, even though he is 40, the Roots could probably use Benny Feilhaber in their midfield.

    Someone's going to have to go sort out the situation at Tampa Bay, because they're terrible. Hearing Braeden Cloutier, last seen on Birmingham's staff, is a possibility.

    Key dates:

    June 11 - The Dallas Parks and Recreation Board and Dallas City Council are voting on whether to approve a three-year license agreement for Atlético Dallas to play home games at the Cotton Bowl , and a three-year lease agreement for the team to operate the MoneyGram Soccer Complex. Each agreement includes two optional one-year renewals. Activation will begin immediately, making this a seven-year option in total.

    June 17 - The Garland City Council is voting to approve the development of a $70M soccer complex located on 65 acres near the intersection of President George Bush Turnpike and Holford Road. The mixed-use development would include a training facility for Atlético Dallas along with eight soccer fields, two futsal courts and park amenities. Atlético Dallas would lease the facilities from the City and help facilitate tournaments, league play and training in Garland.

    Imagine how quickly they'll fire people once you can actually get relegated!

    I mean it keeps the Rowdies there for a while. Being owned by the Rays had the potential to see them uprooted as well, or just spun off on their own.

    They added 1500 seats, which I guess means 15500 and opening in 2027.
    There's an application process for D1 that is ongoing.
    Surprising ownership groups interested in D1.
    No real broadcast revenue yet so butts in seats is the financial metric.
    Not sure if pro-rel will matter financially at first.
