    Didnt they have a hard time getting the stadium built in that location in the first place? Plus with a historic Earthquakes name, would they leave San Jose for San Francisco? Or could they move to Levis? They already play one game a year at Stanford and they've played a couple at Levis over the last couple years.

    MLS didnt mind abandoning the Bay Area when the Quakes went to Houston. Of course now they have a stadium in the Bay Area, however apparently it's already out of date so who knows.

    Apparently the less than 10 years old PayPal Park in San Jose is already out of date according to owner John Fisher, who is trying to move his Oakland Athletics to Las Vegas. Las Vegas has been on the MLS radar. Could Fisher bring the Earthquakes to Las Vegas too?

    They still have hope. Remember one of the Orioles owners wants to move them to Nashville

    So Brewers stadium issue is resolved. The Rays stadium issue is resolved, and the owners are gonna vote on the A's relocation after the season. It's been 84 years but I think we are finally getting somewhere.

    In 1965 at the new Astrodome, players complained of having issues seeing the ball and glare with the transparent roof, so they painted it, killing the grass and thus gave us astroturf. While the Rays wont have an issue with a dead playing surface, how are they gonna solve the glare issue?

    Cincinnati falls to Miami (OH) for the first time since 2005, snapping the Bearcats 16 straight wins against the RedHawks. Its Miamis first win at Nippert since 2003, led by Ben Rothlisberger.

    They've already been around for 2 seasons.

    The Baltimore Orioles have become the first team to beat all 29 opponents in a season

    Its one thing for something like this to happen when a team is at the bottom and not playing well, and people will be like "oh its just the team continuing to implode, like they have all season". But this is a team who is having a really good season, and is in a fight for the top of the table in the East and for the Supporters Shield, yet crickets.

    So teams still play four preseason games right?..........Today was the fourth preseason game for the Bengals right?........ Todays game doesnt count toward the regular season, right?..........Right? ...... Of all the teams Burrow faces,its the Browns he has trouble with the most? Ugh

    No. The move had absolutely nothing to do with a potential move to the PAC. UNLV's contract with Allegiant Stadium effectively prohibits the university from holding events at Sam Boyd Stadium in what is essentially a no-compete clause. In exchange for shutting down the stadium, UNLV receives annual compensation of up to $3.5 million over a 10-year period from the Raiders. Basically the Raiders are paying UNLV (who owns Sam Boyd Stadium) to not use the stadium. Outside of the 2021 UNLV commencement (normally at the Thomas & Mack Center but moved for social distancing), the stadium has pretty much sat empty, as any events that would have normally gone to Sam Boyd have moved to Allegiant. With the stadium being over 50 years old, and being an outdoor venue in the hot Las Vegas climate, id imagine its days will be numbered soon.

    FC Cincinnati suffer their first loss (the Leagues and Open Cup were technically draws, eliminated in penalties) in 11 months at TQL Stadium (October 1, 2022 loss 3-2 to Chicago). They fall to Orlando 1-0 in a game that saw a lot of time with Orlando participating in a diving competition. (7 minutes first half stoppage, 8 that turned into 11 for the second half). The good news for FCC is New England drew against Austin and St Louis is trailing as of this typing to keep a 10 point lead in the supporters shield over NE, STL and ORL

    So now 3 of the now 4 power conferences are bi-coastal, with the SEC as the only holdout. Oregon State prior to yesterday seemed pretty strong on rebuilding a new PAC conference, while Washington State is more than likely Mtn West bound. Hopefully Oregon State comes to their senses and follows.

    So far he has been booed in Nashville and Cincinnati. I think both teams supporters did what they could to keep Messistans out of their stadiums.
  16. Dilbert
    Edit: Nope nevermind

    FC Cincinnati came back down 1-0 with goals from Acosta in the 75th and Vazquez in the 80th to steal their first ever victory in Atlanta 2-1, and become the first team to clinch a spot in the MLS Cup playoffs this season.

    So basically they killed off Buffalo and Connecticut from the PHF and added Ottawa.

    This is certainly a look. Due to construction at Vanderbilt, they have a temporary videoboard hanging from a couple cranes. Also, Hawaiis visiting locker room at Vanderbilt was in a tent. The game also had a lightning delay.

    FC Cincinnati now 17-0-3 across all competitions at The Tickle this season (although two of the draws were being eliminated from tournaments on penalties, so on a technicality they are draws). A huge 3-0 victory over NYCFC tonight keeps them atop the Supporters Shield table. Its their 3rd game in 7 days and their 3rd of 5 in 14 days. On to Atlanta As for Messi, im just laughing at anyone who is unhappy that he didnt start tonight and only played 30 minutes. You spend all this money to see him play in New Jersey and he doesnt even start. Hah. Dude is human. He's tired from carrying Miami through the Leagues Cup and US Open Cup. He needs rest too. At the same time its sad that more than likely 2/3 of Red Bull Arena was there to see Messi and not the Red Bulls. NYRB is such a pathetic organization.

    I dont think the Loyal themselves were invited to join but I believe they were given the option to partner with the expansion club but they declined. But take a look at some of the other USL cities MLS moved into Atlanta Silverbacks folded a nearly a year after the United were announced. Austin Bold played for one season alongside Austin FC, but then went on hiatus attempting to move to Fort Worth. The team has not resurfaced and presumed dead. Charlotte Independence dropped down to USL League 1 and moved into a renovated American Legion Stadium. They average under 2,000 a game. Miami FC (who unlike Inter Miami actually play in Miami) continue to play infront of less than 1,500 a game Saint Louis FC folded a season before St Louis City began play ceding the market to MLS Cincinnati, Minnesota, Montreal, Nashville, Orlando, Portland, Seattle, and Vancouver all moved their lower league teams up to MLS. So basically, Atlanta and St Louis didnt even want to try to compete against the MLS. Austin tried and failed. Charlotte and Miami play to near empty stadiums. Honestly it wouldnt be feasible for the Loyal to continue in San Diego.

    Saw this coming. As soon as we learned the Loyal weren't going to be involved in the MLS bid, I knew they would likely be leaving. Where they'll be headed remains unknown but hopefully they will actually be reborn unlike the Austin Bold.
  23. Dilbert
    I think FCC held Messi off for much of the game but like clockwork the scriptwriters swoop in and give Miami the win in PKs. And yes Daddy Garber was in the house tonight.
  24. Dilbert
    Then there is this national treasure
  25. Dilbert
    I get that the Sox have a history in Chicago and on the South Side, but no matter how bad the Cubs have been , the Sox have always played second fiddle to the Cubs in Chicago. From a business standpoint, I could understand Jerry and the Sox wanting a market for themselves. From a historic and nostalgic standpoint the Sox belong in Chicago and belong on the South Side. I could honestly go either way here.
