winters in buffalo Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 I'd love to see a team here in Raleigh, but I'm not sure how well it would go over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBGKon Posted November 24, 2005 Author Share Posted November 24, 2005 A Minneapolis/St. Paul based team could use:James Griffin Stadium - home of the Minnesota Thunder (cap. 5,000)Blaine Outdoor Stadium - at the National Sports Center (cap. 12,000) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smith03 Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 I would love to see a team here but I would be surprise if Griffin stadium which is a high school stadium would workk, perhaps Blaine but I don't know.......By the way I just found out that the LA team is using the track field and not the main soccer stadium so the 27 000 seats for that is incorrect.I would think when the league adds 2 teams in 08 look for Dallas and either Seattle or Columbus OH Just say NO to gray facemasks.
