interesting that Crown Town has more signatures than most every other city. Including NYC and LA. Seattle is in the lead by far, but i think Charlotte is top 3-5. I hope soccer haters dont try and deep six this thing. World Cup back in the US would be huge. We still own the largest attendance in WC history from back in '94, and we've come a logn way since then.

Just think of all the hot foreign wimmins if you hate soccer.

It'd be a big thing for Charlotte, would bring a ton of money in and help us get recognition internationally. Sometimes I think the national media likes to put the screws to us.

Charlotte has one of the premier bids in the US when all factors are weighed equally. The stadium is great, fits a WC sized field perfectly and it has good sightlines. It's uptown so it's accessible by rail. Also, UNCC, Davidson, Wingate, and the new stadium in Matthews are great training venues.

Its going to be played in more than one city isnt it? Just the final round will be in one city.

Right. So many round robins before the knockout rounds will require multiple venues.

The final will either be the Cowboy's new stadium or LA Coliseum or Rose Bowl.

I would prefer knockout round simply for the quality and round robin is the quantity.

      Statistical reasons to Scratch Ickey from returning as a LT--Even in 2027

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Whether or not this is true, it is how we have to approach it.  he is like the girlfriend who said, "I need some space for a while."  A while?  She is GONE, buddy.  Deal with the loss and move on.  Give yourself a moment of silence and lick your wounds and get back on the dating sites.  (Sniff, Sniff)

      Very intrigued how Morgan and Canales handle the offseason

      1. Prepare for life without Ickey. Whether thats a high draft pick or solid FA. IF and big IF he comes back then you have a succession plan for Moton at RT. But as stated I would assume Ickey will never be our starting LT again 2. Sign Coker now. He's only going to get more expensive. Give him a decent #2 WR contract and call it a day 3. XL I would give this next season. Unless someone like Dallas blows you away with a ridiculous trade offer. XL showed promise his rookie year, I still have faith he can be a contributor to this team 4. Short term - LT and drafting a Center are musts IMO 5. LB would be awesome to get Sonny Styles in the draft but he likely goes long before then. We really need a good MLB, Devin Llyod from Jax may be available  6. I ride next year with Chuba, Etienne and Brooks - too many other needs to worry about RB right now

      Could Morgan be eyeing Trey Hendrickson

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I hope we don't.  We need to re-sign a few players (Nijman, BC, maybe Mays and Rozeboom, lock down Coker (he is cheaper now than he will be later).
