i like your thinking.......they should also install piss bomb cannons too at the top of each aisle to make everyone feel at home.If they Goats go to Santa Ana, why not just use the stadium on Flower and Civic Center Dr.? It'll hold all 500 of their fans and any troublemakers can immediately go to the county jail literally across the street.

The Orange Curtain will never allow "sawker" in their precious area code.

RSL's Stadium will leave Houston as the only team in the West without a SSS. San Jose will be in a tiny one, but it is a SSS nonetheless.
If KC gets the final go ahead, that will leave DC and NE without SSS in the East.
EDIT:SJ Council makes exception for Soccer Stadium Proposal
San Jose's Stadium is a no-brainer for the city, I don't see how it wouldn't get done:
Under the current stadium plan, Wolff would create a charitable arm of his soccer team to receive the profit from the Edenvale land sale - estimated at up to $80 million - to avoid capital gains taxes on the sale. The non-profit then would build the stadium and transfer ownership, at no cost, to the city.

Yet by all appearances Stade Smurf L'Orange does not appear to be a bad place to to take in a game. Right size at 30k, seats close to the pitch. They even do a fair job of trying to clean up the football lines. Still, it sounds as though they'll join the SSS parade soon though from recent news accounts.RSL's Stadium will leave Houston as the only team in the West without a SSS.

Maybe they should build the new, smaller stadium for the Univ. of Houston football team.
Home attendance:
22,468 v. Colorado State
20,719 v. East Carolina
26,541 v. Rice (Cross-town rival)

I actually think, Stade S L'O could be a good road trip. I could visit my Aunt Flo in Beaumont.

Good road trips and Texas are not usually used in the same sentence with any serious intentions.
QFT. I almost got blown off the road by a dust devil near Amarillo.
They took my saddle in Houston. Broke my leg in Santa Fe. Lost my wife and a girlfriend somewhere along the way.

Red Bull Park looking at fall 2009 or spring 2010!!!
It was supposed to open next summer/spring along w/ FSL's stadium, but legal delays and a new design (Red Bull bought out AEG's interest and wants to use its own design) is backing this thing up. My GAWD this is awful!!!
Meanwhile, they're losing millions a year by being in Giants Stadium.

Hey, if Montreal gets a franchise, would they be called Mont Real?

I hate that they're delayed in NY, but I love the reason why. You know all the newer AEG stadiums have that awful stage at one end, and so did AEG's design for Red Bull Park. My understanding is that Red Bull is taking out the stage and making a few more changes (steeper rake to the seating) to make the stadium even more soccer specific. I like this very much.
I can see LARS making annual trips to Seattle, Portland (if when they're in), Chicago and New York (once they get their place). I imagine some folks will still go to Toronto (I'd love to be one of them) and some of us will visit Salt Lake, Kansas City, St. Louis when they open their stadiums. I can't ever see us going to Texas.

AMEN. The only time I'd ever go to Texas is to watch us in the championship, and that's IF we stand a chance
