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 CRA · Posted

      But that would run counter to a lot of basic logic.  Frank Reich largely had an ideal QB he had worked with…and Reich world people were beating that drum loudly during the draft process that CJ Stroud fit what Frank would want/need.  And reporting also was signaling there was a split in house and Tepper wanted Young. We ended up with Young.

      How accurate is Madden for coaches?

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      There's more to coaching than play calling, even down on the field. Madden isn't going to simulate how your WR1 had a big fight with his wife the night before the game and is stiff from sleeping on the couch. It's not going to simulate that the fight was because the QB's wife was flirting with the WR and now, because she went full on ballistic that the QB now knows about it. It's not going to simulate that questionable bucket of wings your o-line shared three hours before the game is now causing cramps and gas. It's also not going to simulate the real wear and tear of the season and how about December even the moderately good teams are about halfway spending their brain power on picking their January vacation destinations. But for a video game, it's pretty good.

      Last Madden I played was 17, got this for like 10-12 bucks a few months ago and its a great improvement imo. I havent had to touch the sliders much.
