MLS is crap until they get me a local franchise, and I don't want to hear about why they haven't gotten me a local franchise (though I also hope the new Silverback stadium can help us seal the deal).peacedoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15474788565660706482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11175154.post-91351002742956974662007-04-24T07:44:00.000-05:002007-04-24T07:44:00.000-05:00I've been to Brewhouse for matches a bunch of time...I've been to Brewhouse for matches a bunch of times, although my attendance has gone down since having a child and getting FSC and GolTV. The last time I went was for the Barca-AC Milan second leg last year when ESPN2 inexplicably showed the Arsenal-Villarreal match instead. The place was packed, even for a game not involving an EPL team. Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever seen Barca lose there. Conversely, I don't think I've ever seen Holland win there.<BR/><BR/>Grandy, that's one of the reasons why I've never really gotten into MLS. The problem is that we don't have a good facility for it. Grant Field would be perfect, especially because it isn't cavernous, but it's too narrow. Hopefully, the Silverbacks' new stadium is built in such a way that it could expand if MLS wanted to come here.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08365733949431139562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11175154.post-1898184659326039512007-04-23T15:31:00.000-05:002007-04-23T15:31:00.000-05:00I've been very bitter that MLS has heretofor passe...I've been very bitter that MLS has heretofor passed over expansion in Atlanta.peacedoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15474788565660706482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11175154.post-21980407602384811512007-04-23T15:27:00.000-05:002007-04-23T15:27:00.000-05:00Not surprising @ all - ever been to the Brewhouse ...Not surprising @ all - ever been to the Brewhouse for a big match?
