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.

      Gonna be interesting to watch. All reporting indicates he's gonna be out. From what I'm hearing he's out. The interesting part will be what happens next. The job has been staying within the "family" since Dean retired. But there's no one within the family that makes any sense at all right now. They'll have to go outside the family to hire a coach that's likely to be successful and tension between the school and the basketball family is already high right now with this plot to move the arena to Carolina North because the folks within the basketball family want it to stay at the Dean Dome and they feel misled because they feel like there was never any real consideration of revamping the Dean Dome and this whole evaluation process was just meant to make it look like that was being considered. The best outcome here IMO is that we hire a great coach from outside the family and we revamp the Dean Dome as an olive branch to the family. But the powers that be REALLY want a new arena at Carolina North.
