Its like how the 1997 Tennessee Oilers were based and practiced in Nashville, but made the 212 mile trip to Memphis for each home game, expecting fans to do the same. We all remember that not only did fans not drive from Nashville for the games, fans in Memphis didnt show up either.

I dont like that there are Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday night games. Games 1 and 2 for CBS-ATL are on weeknights, and game three if necessary on a Sunday night. Just horrible scheduling all around.

Agreed. Id love to see Louisville, and Indy in MLS

There are 4 things that are certain in life. -Death -Taxes - Forge FC in the CPL Finals -Louisville City in the USL Championship conference finals Congrats to Forge FC on winning their 4th title in 5 years tonight over rival Cavalry FC Louisville in their 9th season is heading to the conference finals for the 9th season in a row. USL League One Final is set between rivals North Carolina FC and Charlotte Independence. North Carolina will be returning to the Championship next season. MLS playoffs were blowouts today.

Would this be considered malicious compliance? My solution: The team wears throwbacks of their former Florida State League club (1997-00), the St Petersburg Devil Rays.

At a St Petersburg council meeting, the Rays gave a presentation on the new stadium development project. Apparently part of the agreement is the Rays play one game, wearing "St Petersburg Rays" jerseys (pending MLB approval). To me this just screams the whole "Anaheim" schtick, that city forced the Angels to do, where the city didnt want to be little brother to Los Angeles so the team compromised with the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim bs. St Pete doesnt want to play little brother to Tampa. I mean, theres a reason why its called Tampa Bay and not St Petersburg Bay. Not to mention the 4+1 rule for jerseys now. Would the St Petersburg jersey be considered a special jersey like the Boston Patriots Day jersey or the Jays Canada Day jersey?

Turrible.

Had the Reds won their final two games with the Cardinals, they would've taken the Dbacks spot in the postseason.

Two teams who have no business playing in the world series are playing in the world series. Oof. The Reds swept the Rangers this year and took 4 of 7 from the D-backs, including a three game sweep. I guess Ill go for the Rangers since they havent won a world series yet.

Austin Precourt FC II defeated Columbus Crew 2 at Lower.com Field to capture the 2023 MLS Next Pro title. Columbus won the title last year.

New England is on standby, if one of those teams (excluding Miami) wins MLS Cup

So kinda but not really football related, my local radio station was doing a giveaway to send the winner to Dallas for Thanksgiving to see Dolly Parton perform at halftime, where she will be performing songs from her new rock album (release on Nov 17)

MLS Cup playoffs are set. Meanwhile in the opening round of the USL Championship playoffs, Detroit knocked off Players Shield winners Pittsburgh. In the CPL its another Forge-Cavalry CPL final.

My favorite one yet

What a reveal!

They still have time to fix this, unfortunately they probably wont.

It looks like a sewer lid. I can live with another city name FC name but this is bad. Even the Montreal snowflake butthole was better than this.

Fitting as the Bucs were usually bad in the creamsicle days

Of the four remaining teams we have a total of 16 pennants won (PHI-8, HOU-5, TEX-2, ARZ-1) , but only 5 world series won (PHI-2, HOU-2*, ARZ-1, TEX-0)

But if they try hard enough, they could probably get out of their lease early. It worked for Chicago.

If New England can be in an actual Boston suburb and not halfway between Boston and Providence, I think it can work as long as they have it near an MBTA line. Public transport to and from the city is important. Also wouldnt mind seeing maybe one game a year at Fenway. Same with Chicago at Wrigley. I know we are trying to get out of the baseball stadiums, but these are historic sports venues, who also have a history with soccer. I think we can do a game for the charm of the old venues. If anything it would be promotional, like how San Jose has done with games at Levis, or the Classico at Stanford. I think if we can get Colorado back into Denver as soon as possible the better. I think we need to get Dallas out of Frisco. Dallas can work in a suburb but Frisco is the wrong one. Maybe get them into Arlington with the Cowboys, Rangers, and not to mention their 2 team is already there. If we can get Philly into Philly as well that would be good. Chester is okay for a training facility but not an actual stadium. Im not sure about Kansas City though. I think they can hold their own being over in Kansas, plus none of the other KC teams are located in downtown KC. I think Salt Lake does just fine in Sandy, and the Galaxy might as well just stay in Carson. LA has gone to LAFC.

Not to mention I think MLS is going away from suburban stadiums for more urban stadium. It may be an NFL stadium, but the Sounders are perfect where they are currently playing location wise.

Thats their new training facility set to open next year.

Orca should have been involved in the primary. Just sayin. MLS current target audience are millennials and Gen Z. They grew up with the orca logo. Space needle may scream Seattle, but the orca screams Sounders.
