That does not mean we are hated rivals. The only true "rival" I feel we are going to make is Miami/Tampa/Jacksonville/Ft. Lauderdale (basically whichever city gets the second Florida team) and maybe Atlanta. How does opening against NYCFC imply they're OC's rivals in MLS's eyes?

It can be traditional to open new stadiums with games against rivals. The Bears, Lions and Vikings did it by bringing the Packers to town when they opened their new parks. It doesn't always translate, though (I can't remember, the first game at the new Yankee Stadium was either against Baltimore or Cleveland, respectable old AL clubs but neither a hot rival at the time). And in this case, I think hiring the coach we just fired does more for making us rivals than the first game in their new park or entering the league together. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database!

dfwabel Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Missouri Governor-Elect doubles down on no state funding for St. Louis MLS stadium. http://www.stltoday.com/news/local/metro/greitens-i-have-completely-ruled-out-state-funding-for-stadiums/article_f8a545d1-be13-5239-a034-4fa4c39b1462.html Quote “To be very clear, I have completely ruled out state funding for stadiums,” Greitens said Monday said taking questions from journalists in Dellwood. Hours later, the St. Louis alderman sponsoring the ballot proposal for up to $80 million in city funding for a St. Louis MLS team called the proposal’s future doubtful. “I was hoping to get to the point where this proposal made sense for St. Louis, but I’m feeling that less and less,” 6th Ward Alderman Christine Ingrassia said by phone. And the mayor’s office said Monday that getting a stadium built would be difficult without the state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winters in buffalo Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Local media here is reporting that the North Carolina FC ownership is going to announce on Monday that they've bought the WNY Flash and they will play the next NWSL season in Raleigh.

DG_ThenNowForever Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Better Raleigh than the outfield of a baseball stadium. Sad to see my hometown womens soccer team leave after a championship season, but I've seen video of their games. Doesn't look like many will miss them. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dfwabel Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 For the most part, the Flash did. The city scheduled an event at Rhinos Stadium and the Flash were forced to find another venue. That said, is this a wise investment since UD Soccer basically subsidizes the league? Note that USWNT union fired their lead counsel before the new year, right as their CBA expired. For now, the team members are still going to work under the old agreement, but for how long? http://equalizersoccer.com/2016/12/28/uswntpa-changes-legal-counsel-rich-nichols-cba-negotiations/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
