Seems that they are going to add four more very soon.   NC has two of ten possible bids, I also heard Cincinnati, Sacramento, San Diego, San Antonio, St Louis, and Tampa 

Several things I have heard all seem to feel that Sacramento would definitely be one of the four.   Good luck to y'all

Thanks!  We got European championship games lately and we had an amazing attendance.  50k-60k for the past 3 years. I had a feeling it was a test to see how we do for MLS and possible FIFA games and we did great but people are just not interested in local little club team, Independence....  I mean, I practice on next field with them in Ramblewood park and I play for Coed recreational team...

The key competition is probably Raleigh.  I cannot imagine NC getting two teams, at the same point I cannot imagine them not getting any.

Tampa is one of those throwing their hats in the ring, but I cannot understand their argument.  Already had and lost a team.  Orlando just opened and they have Miami planned, so do they really need a Tampa team.  Really, unless you go to downtown St. Pete, and to the exact right spot, nobody knows the Rowdies exist.  There are maybe two actual soccer bars in the whole damn area.

Breaking: Proposal in place to demolish Memorial Stadium and build a brand spanking new MLS stadium instead.  Both City and County would have to pay $50 million each. IF City and County give a green light, MLS team will be pretty much guaranteed to Charlotte.

It's looking like the City is going to vote NO on this one.

If Raleigh lands a team, I would expect to see Charlotte Independence fold. Their ownership plan has always been for MLS, and with that off the table, what's the point? It might be different if they had a decent place to play. But they don't.

Breaking: Mecklenburg County approved plans for MLS plan!  City public forum is this Friday.  Good chance MLS is coming to Charlotte.

It's been cancelled because it doesn't have the votes to pass. Expansion application deadline is this Tuesday. Since the County voted YES, Bruton can still proceed ... if he ponies up the $44 million the City would've contributed. If not, this is dead.

Yep, time will tell.

      Panthers run ONE play on repeat

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I have deep concern that the answer might be both. Reich did a terrible job of catering to Bryce while Bryce just flat out didn't look like he had starting NFL talent.

      Here is one explanation of Bryce--He has never been the underdog--aways played with a lead, always had the best team, best OL, and usually, the best WRs.   Since high school. Now imagine a bully who punches you in the arm every time he walks by you.  At first, you walk by with confidence and it catches you off guard.  Then you start flinching and taking side steps to avoid the hit.  He still hits you.  This happens for an entire year.  Now think of what you would do if you walked by him and he didn't hit you.  You would still dodge, duck, dip, and dodge, and people would look at you like you were an idiot.  Point: even when Bryce had a clean pocket, he was not confident and he prepared to be hit.  This guy talks about him being out of rhythm etc.  Then he still blames Bryce when he demonstrates that there was no separation and the routes were predictable.  In addition to that,  he mentions that Bryce often had LESS than 2 seconds to throw before getting pressure.  So the Defense knows you have to throw because you are behind--they know what play you are going to run--since they can cover you in man they can rush 7, play man under with cover 1 or 2 support over the top---vs. your 5 OL and a RB who can't block.  Our TEs were not open.  Bozeman decided to suck hard, and we had 9 different players start at both G spots.  Campen sucked, folks--was saying it all year.  So Bryce flenched on the rare occasion that he was protected for more that 2 seconds.  What does flinching look like?  Feet out of position (Cam had the same issue--the brain tells the feet to run), timing off (second guessing due to previous forced errors) etc. Bryce needs to go back to feeling confident in the pocket.  I hope he is not traumatized by 2023.  He has to be second guessing his ability--like you are.  Self-fulfilling prophecy.

      Welcome Charles Lee to Charlotte. He's the Hornets' new coach

      Agree, it mattered last year and we got a superstar. We should get a very very good starter this year as well.
