Yeah…

I like the idea of December, January, and February outdoor games in Chicago, Minnesota, Toronto, Montreal, Boston, New York/New Jersey, Philly, Columbus, Cincinnati, Portland, Denver, Salt Lake City, St. Louis, Kansas City

Sure… that would be wonderful. Why don’t we just kill off 1/3 of the fans that actually go to games before the season so that we don’t have to use a blow torch to separate their bodies from the seats that their corpses are frozen to when the cleaning crew comes through after the games?

 

I’m not sure what the answer is. The NFL seems to have figured it out. The flip side is that right now we have Houston, Dallas, and Austin playing games in July and August. 
 

I just looked it up and the Norwegian and Swedish leagues play a summer schedule. Russia does fall-spring but with a long winter break. Maybe that’s the way to go.

The Bundesliga plays games into December and then in January. Things can be adjusted. They take a break, I think, after game 15. They can still train at their clubs during the break.

The average temperature for Chicago in December is 37/27, January 32/22, February 37/26.

The average temperature for Berlin in December is 40/32, January 38/29 and February 41/30.

I wasn't saying a complete copying of the schedule. I just think it could help transfers of players between leagues and perhaps help the MLS become better.

Football games played with snow on the field are awesome.

Soccer matches played with snow on the field are an abortion.

 

I hate the idea of a long mid-season break too.  Completely kills any momentum a season has.  For an up and coming pro league taking weeks off is suicidal.  The NFL is probably the only league in the USA with the clout to pull that off today.

I like the idea to synchronize the schedule with Europe. That would be good. The AppleTV thing is not great. I only watch the St. Louis games.

I may come down to the St. Louis game at Houston June 28.  

Has your guy moved up to the SLC first team?

He is on the first team. Had a bit of a hamstring issue to start the season so he has not gotten in any games as of yet.

He was close to getting in Sunday in the game at Los Angeles. It will come. He’s still, I think, the youngest defender.

Thanks for asking.
