Rangers Austin FC

just a reminder....

Ohio AG Mike DeWine @OhioAG 2h2 hours ago

Precourt Sports Ventures and @MLS still have an obligation under Ohio law to provide notice and a reasonable opportunity for local investors to purchase the rights to keep the Crew in Columbus. Our lawsuit will continue.

I suspect that even IF that hurdle is cleared at some point, there are still plenty of ways this whole thing can go sideways and not happen... and I know I'm not alone in that.

So yeah, whatevs, Ohio can do their thing... still plenty of ways for this thing to tank.

From what I've read from garber, there's wiggle room for austin to get an expansion. If crew stay in ohio, i think Austin gets the last expansion slot.

And I'm all in on Waterloo FC, but its too rad to happen.

This would get a jump on reverting back to the city's original name.

Miami's team will be such a dud if it ever even happens.

Personally, I like it, but I'm surprised someone by the username Napoleon would.

Great night at Haymaker. Flannigan, Pio and the Mayor all showed up. I've bro-hugged Jimmy like 30 times today. Legit work in terms of site plans, architectural, engineering, etc. starts in earnest tomorrow.

why?  they will end up at house park for the first 2 years with massive demand and then there will be a hipster moment where supporting the club will be gauche when they move to the domain.  it will be glorious.

do you think they can rival the rampant support the aztex generated at house park?

Surely they won't be able to top the paltry RR Express attendance of over 8,000 fans per night.  No way this town supports any pro sports.  Never happened, never will.

I'm curious (not curious enough to look it up) to see how Texas Stars attendance ranks. 

I went to quite a few Ice Bats games back in high school and that was a pretty rabid fan base with a great environment - sold out every time I was there.

Good thing the opportunity came when it did. MLS would be dead if Laura Morrison was mayor. She’s going to use this deal in her campaign. She was Leslie Pool’s role model on council and talked about that bond a lot during her opening remarks in 2014
