And they've been filling Audi Field, as far as I can tell, though it's pretty small. Just 20k. Atlanta is getting like 50k.
It does raise this question:

@Cal-NMU have plans for their own stadium, three separate site options. I read the whole prospectus one night out of boredom. One a little SW of the junction of 25 and 40, one I forget, and one on that large emptyish land just down the hill from the Embassy Suites. They are also of the opinion in said prospectus that they'll be able to get 2 US rugby internationals per year there.

The Cleveland Browns owners and a local rich guy are set to buy and keep the Crew in Columbus. Precourt gets to keep his "franchise" and set it up in Austin.
New England is going to drop $35M on a training center.
Joey Saputo says he's losing $9M American a year, with the 7th highest payroll and being 18th in season tickets. According to him, if they sell out they make $500K. Every Atlanta home game, they make $2M.

USA v Italy in November was finally announced to be played in...Genk. In Belgium. WTF?
Canada currently murdering Dominica in Montreal, 6 years to the day after the 8-1 in Honduras.
The MLS and LigaMX to Libertadores talk is back again.
Supposedly Dortmund is interested in Miguel Almiron.
The Eastern Conference is going to be fun. Assume DCU wins out v TFC, V NYCFC, and @CHI, and Philly loses to the Red Bulls this weekend and wins their final game v NYCFC (I think). This leaves, depending on whether Columbus wins out or not, PHI, NYCFC, and DCU all tied on 53 points for either 3rd or 4th in the conference. Columbus can get to 54, with games v Orlando and Minnesota, again if I remember right.

Your new Las Vegas Lights coach and TD...Eric Wynalda. Because they couldn't get Landon.
Of the last 69 points on offer, Orlando has taken 6. 1-18-3 in their last 22. They hadn't scored since before Labor Day before tonight. And also broke the league record for most goals conceded in a season.

Just read this article on Atlanta. https://www.theguardian.com/cities/2...medium=twitter I had absolutely no idea that they were getting this level of crowds. 7 gates over 70,000 this season! Average well over 50,000. That's incredible

Tata gone after his contract ends 12/8, to coach Mexico.
US women at Portugal and Scotland in the November international window.
Starting in 2020, MLS teams can sell sleeve ads on jerseys on one side.
DCU v Everton (shock) likely sometime in the summer after the EPL ends.

Vancouver's next HC is almost certainly Marc dos Santos. Which is badly needed, as the players spent the end of season exit interviews methodically ripping each other, and Kendall Waston flat out said he wants out.
USL League 1 starts next year with 10 teams, one still to be announced between Dallas and Southern California, and I hope for FC Tucson's travel sake it's SoCal. 28 game season, 4 teams make the playoffs.
Chicago Fire have been officially done for 4 days, and had 3 players retire already.
Orlando is going to renovate the old Houston Astros spring training complex in Kissimmee and use it for the Lions and Pride training facility.
If Orange County beats Drogba FC in the USL semis, the winner of Lousiville-RBNY II hosts, since they can't get their own stadium for the championship game.
Luis Robles has a partially torn ACL he's playing through.
Beckham FC has plans for an NWSL team of their own in the future.
PDL Michigan Bucks are leaving their warehouse pitch and moving to Flint.
Seattle hosts leg 2 of their series a week from today rather than on the 11th because of a car show across the street.
Oh, and there's about 8-10 actual violent as hell fascists/skinhead/nationalists in one of NYCFC's supporters groups

LAFC lost last night, some karmic justice for their fans throwing trash at Nick Rimando and for large sections of the stadium doing the puto chant. LAFC haven't addressed it yet, and I don't think MLS has either. It was so blatant that there should be some sort of punishment, let's see if the league has the guts to do the right thing.
