The top two teams being more than double what is apparently league average. Had no idea MLS had that big of attendance anywhere. Assumed Children's Mercy was the cream of the crop.

Real question, do you watch MLS at all?

I go to Sporting games on occasion. I don't ever watch on tv. MLS fandom will come when the MNT isn't a joke deluxe. That's how I came to care about and love the NWSL.

Seattle is one of if not the most popular teams in MLS and plays in an NFL stadium. They are also very successful. Atlanta is a hot new expansion team that is maybe one of if not the best expansion franchise in league history. They started playing in GT’s stadium and now the Falcons. Atlanta is also a massive metro. Sporting Kansas City built their stadium the perfect sized stadium to foster demand of the product and a top atmosphere. I hope that gives insight to why those two franchises are seeing massive attendance numbers and why Sporting is where they are and still the cream of the crop

MLS is actually a league with world stars though, unlike the NWSL. It isn't right to pin the USMNT not qualifying for the World Cup on the supposed lack of quality in MLS. In actuality the growth of MLS is the biggest reason why we didn't qualify, CONCACAF is doing very well.

Tying the USWNT success to the NWSL would be equally ridiculous. As the NWSL and the women's EPL grow, the women's game around the world has grown to the detriment of total US dominance.

I was saying that following the women all the way to their WC win is what really got me excited about the players. Being able to follow damn near the whole team in the NWSL translated into my giving a crap.

I like the scottwildcat optimism, but think we'll lose tomorrow like usual.   :frown:

Someone get 42 in here

I feel bad for Columbus as we had a similar thing happen to us with Orlando. Especially with how they're rough ridin' over their fans over not refunding the 2018 season tickets. The owner seems like a shithead and that's not exactly a great footing to start out on.

That said if he gets us our first pro team ever and keeps it there, all will be forgotten in time. I'm guessing they'll put the stadium over by where the Austin American-Statesman building is. That's the only real piece of downtown real estate left. I'm also curious how this is going to impact the timeline of the supposed return of the USL franchise to FC Barcelona's stadium at their training facility by the Circuit of the Americas track (waaaaaaaaaaay southeast of downtown, think FCD and Frisco in terms of distance).

Apparently the preferred site for the new stadium is Butler Park area, just west of Lamar.

Hopefully the idea for a USL stadium out at COTA dies a horrible death because everything about COTA sucks, and the location of the current pitch sucks, and the idea of trying to put a stadium around it sucks.

Welp. Successful season. I’ll take lifting of the LHUSOC and a playoff birth every year. Disappointing that we leaked oil the final 2 months of the season and failed to get out of the knock out again though. For the sake of the USMNT I hope this was PV’s last game managing Sporting. Otherwise I have faith in him getting this team ready to roll next season.
