I'd build that SSS in Urbandale for the Des Moines Menace, follow the Menace and Wizards around the country, and the US MNT around the world. My family would definitely be well represented at Deutschland 2006, South Africa 2010, and Brasil 2014. I'd quit my day job and do reffing and volunteer coaching (worth every dime they pay me) in my spare time.
1) Build two SSS's. One in Los Angeles, but make this one in downtown Los Angeles, near the Staples Center or Corn Fields. (for those of you not familiar with SoCal, Carson is hell+gone, unless you live in Long Beach, or the O.C.) 2) Bring a new team into the MLS (we can call it the L.A. Kings, since the NHL will be going tits-up in a year or two) 3) Buy the contracts for (these may seem random, but I have my reasons) Brad Friedel, Claudio Reyna, and Harry Kewell - and bring them here. Oh, and I'd buy a submarine
Not to complain... aww, but who am I kiddin'?... but if you put a-league in OKC or Tulsa, it'd be nice to have teams a little closer than El Paso and Indianapolis for them to play against (travel costs, ya know, would end up comparable to MLS travel costs right now)... So... if I had the $$$ and went the a-league route, I'd ferret out some cities in the south/southwest... kinda like Huey Lewis & the News... Tulsa, Austin, Oklahoma City... Little Rock, Shreveport, Memphis, Wichita (KS), Albuquerque, San Antonio, etc, etc... pick the cream of that crop (you know, civic involvement, fan support, facilities) and start some rivalries.
First I'd offer the Crew $3 million to name Columbus Crew Stadium after me for a year cuz all my old friends would think that's cool and it'd be a good 15 minutes of fame. I'd quit my job ... see every Rapids game home and away for the summer. Finally, I'd buy 10 or so season tickets and give them to some kind of kids charity. Hell, I'd have so much money, maybe I'd do that for every team. Oh yeah, and I'd buy Heather Mitts for a year :-D
1. Quit my job and finish my PhD 2. Move back to Northern California (near my parents) and buy an apartment on Long Island (near my wife's parents) 3. Build a SSS for the Earthquakes and attend every practice, pre-season game, and regular season game -- but I wouldn't sit in a luxury box. I'd have the same seat in the stands, every game, with the great unwashed masses who hadn't won the Powerball jackpot.
