Yeah, it’s really becoming frustrating. I’m hoping next season is better, because if it’s more of the same side show BS I’m not sure I’ll stick around.

Well I certainly didn’t expect Toronto 2 to utterly crush Louisville last night. The commentators were going on before the match about how LV shouldn’t sleep on TFC2 and I guess they were right. Surprising quality from a seemingly hopeless side.

For most of the season, Indy didn’t have football lines since it was off season for the NFL. On multiple occasions now, I’ve seen players misjudge which line is out of bounds. It’s crazy how many different lines the NFL uses, and it doesn’t help that they have yellow lines near the sideline that match Indy Elevens color lines.

Yea and I think the lines in Indy are extra bad cause the Colts just installed fancy new football ones that are sewn in instead of painted on. It would be sweet if the Eleven could get their own stadium, but the Colts really soured the well for public funding of stadiums cause they got a sales tax levy a while back which pissed a lot of people off (including me cause I was living there at the time)

Rams did the same thing to St. Louis’s chances of an MLS team when I lived there.

Colts stadium is a huge upgrade over playing at IUPUI, even if it does feel a bit empty comparatively

is Butler's stadium a possibility?

also what really killed STL's stadium chances was the fact that the vote was city-only, and No campaigners (rightly in my mind) pointed out that most of the people coming there would be from the suburbs and using the stadium without really paying for it. (that and they played up the fact that soccer's a "white sport" and STL City is majority-minority.)

butler bowl seats 5k (more than enough for last night's crowd!), has limited parking and concessions, bathrooms are in hinkle fieldhouse etc. it could work but i think the best long term solution is to renovate iu michael a carroll track and field and soccer stadium. which would only cost, in nfl stadium terms, 0.05 to 0.1 billion dollars

The Tampa Bay Rays are buying the Tampa Bay Rowdies.

Announcement tomorrow morning.

Not sure this will have any bearing on their MLS bid, but MLS made it clear that Rowdies owner Bill Edwards wasn’t quite rich enough for MLS (and he has an outstanding legal case).

A MLB ownership group is more appealing to MLS expansion committee, for sure.

To be rather blunt I'm sure both USL and MLS would be happier without him anyway because Edwards, if you believe the lawsuits filed against him, made a bunch of his money doing poo poo that was unusually shady even by people-who-have-a-lot-of-money standards.

I've always found it hilariously ironic that he claimed his reason for leaving the NASL was perceived corruption.

All perfectly true, but at least his checks didn't bounce and bills were paid on time.

Will be interesting to hear what the Rays owners (Stuart Sternberg, etc.) plans for the Rowdies are at tomorrow's event.
