Kraft fam needs to sell the team tho.

Saw the standings today, not a bad position right now. Gotta take advantage Saturday, right?

[mocat]

yeah when you play the last place team at home after a bye week, you should win

[scottwildcat]

Wacky is super adorable in this thread. It is like a 9 year old kid with the whole world in front of him.

I know we have discussed the Revs, SSS, and other things with you, but what is your opinion of Kraft? Will he and his family ever sell the team, or will they just continue to play in Fox for the next 10+ years.

There's no reason to sell, the team is doing just well enough for The Krafts to make money. They have a good TV deal, they own the stadium, the concessions, the parking lot, and all of the shops and restaurants in the area. The only way this gets better is if someone makes Jonathan Kraft a good enough offer for he and his dad to sell.

MLS Atlanta ?@MLSAtlanta2017  4h
One more day… http://mlsatlanta2017.com  #AtlantaIsReady

[mocat]

Atlanta, I don't think you're actually ready

[420seriouscat69]

Matt Besler and the morning crew (on 810) were sharing stories about the 30 for 30 with liverpool and how all those ppl died over a stadium overload. They asked Matt if he had ever been around an environment like that and he said: "The closest thing would have been Nebraska/K-State in '98 and I was in open space when I rushed the field."

 

[sunny_cat]

Wow, stud

[scottwildcat]

knew Captain Matt was a stud.

MLS2ATL event started you can watch live if you want



Don and Blank showed up in a helicopter

ATL will be team 22, Miami won't be happening before 2017(not surprising)

Silverbacks and MLSATL will have a working relationship

Official USA bid to host a WC is in the works and the ATL stadium is apart of it

Blank drops a line that the Falcons have been at the salary cap every year he has been an owner and he will put all financial backing to make MLSATL a success on the field

Stadium will be morphing to close up the upper bowl, artificial turf for MLS games

fans will vote on color scheme, name, and logo

Capacity for the stadium will be 29k seat for MLS games, never have football lines.

Overall nothing too exciting or ground breaking in the press conference. I'm skeptical. I don't think this will be a successful expansion move.

I really hope we're wrong.

we won't. Orlando will be the only successful team in terms of fan support and being a good look for the league in the Southeast. Miami and Atlanta won't have any real fan support. They very well may be good teams on the field, no way to tell, but the fans won't be there.

I have doubts about Orlando too.

[scottwildcat]

Orlando is going to have a SSS and a pretty good following already, but I agree. s_c gets butthurt when you talk crap on Orlando so I was just trying to avoid that.

[sunny_cat]

Orlando doubters are going to get mushed so rough ridin' hard right in your faces.

Once again tho and I know it was never in the cards for the near future, but, IN YOUR FAT FACE ST LOUIS
