Mls Detroit ...
Mls Detroit ...
IMO should go in with lafc next yr ?
With the debacle ...
That may hit Columbus I'd be leery of Building a pitch
So what do you do ...
With the old facility ?
[quote=""Sam Hill""]The people who built that "pitch" no longer own the team, and the taxpayers were not on the hook for it.[/quote]
This may be meaningless, but here goes...
My fellow fans are young and dont remember when public stadium funding was done for the benefit of the city that built it MORE than the teams playing in it. Theyve just seen all the hose jobs. Part of the attraction to MLS (and there are exceptions) are the number of privately financed stadiums (or in my local case, a mostly privately financed renovation and now a completely privately financed expansion)... and only one relocation spurred by being kicked out of a college football stadium. Its a large swath of MLS fans that frankly hate the American sports cartel, which is why they- more or less- want to see soccer done the way soccer does it. Cruyff knows my attempts to rationalize with said people fall on more deaf ears than a stadium of Kiss fans just beginning to leave.
