The soon-to-be defunct Deltas won their semi-final and are hosting the Soccer Bowl on the 12th. Funny if not sad.

The NASL is moving to the international calendar in order to "bring another level of excitement to fans and offer greater development opportunities for players and clubs across the country" and definitely not because it only has 4 teams and this is a good way to delay the start date of the season without actually calling it a delay.

Indy Eleven Officially joining USL for 2018 and staying at IUPUI's IU Michael A. Carroll Track & Field and Soccer Stadium"IBJ posted:Joining in the USL could give the Eleven a better shot at someday meeting its goal of playing in Major League Soccer. In the meantime, the Eleven could have a MLS affiliation in short order. A number of USL teams serve as MLS farm teams. hope we affiliate with the crew

Indy Eleven confirmed playing at Lucas Oil for almost every home game in 2018. Probably USOC and some games that conflict with Colts or other events at IUPUI https://www.ibj.com/articles/67281-...mpaign=leftrail the city owns lucas oil stadium and is letting the team play rent-free (!) for one year and also the city is covering half of the operating costs for some reason. it's going to be cheaper for the team than playing at IUPUI's stadium of blight. and the ticket prices are staying the same as they were last year in nasl. a massive deal for indy eleven, who currently have 4 players signed to contracts. ibj posted:Eleven President Jeff Belskus told IBJ he expects the team's cost to play in Lucas Oil will be similar to that of playing in the antiquated Carroll Stadium. The Eleven were paying a high five-figure to low six-figure sum per game to play at Carroll, Belskus said. And he noted that in Carroll Stadium, the team had to rent things like grandstands and the sound system for each game.  awyeahz fucked around with this message at 00:48 on Jan 30, 2018 |

Was listening to the Sirius XM soccer channel last night while driving, they were interviewing Rocco Commisso; I was doing so much eye-rolling while listening that I feared my eyes would lock in the back of my skull, causing me to crash my car. There are some Rowdies fans who like to hate on Bill Edwards, but they should look at the fate of the NY Cosmos and the Ft. Lauderdale Strikers, to name two obvious recent examples, and be thankful. Bill Edwards has been an excellent owner in spite of his quirks and faults. Speaking of Bill Edwards, on Monday it was announced that he was "selling the Rowdies" in a click-baity article, which was later corrected to "looking for additional investors" to get the Rowdies into MLS. The knives were out amongst the I-hate-Bill-Edwards crowd; this was proof that they had been right all along; the Rowdies should have stayed in NASL; soon the Rowdies would be sold to some fly-by-night operator running the Rowdies on a shoestring budget as Orlando City's USL reserve team to replace the recently defunct Orlando City B, followed decades later by a giant asteroid crashing into the earth to relieve us Rowdies fans of our shame at long last. When it became clear that Bill Edwards was not trying to sell off the Rowdies, but rather he was talking to "five or six" potential investors interested in taking the Rowdies to MLS, and had hired a financial advisor to help with these negotiations, and that he would like to stay on as a minority Rowdies owner if they get an MLS expansion spot, this was dismissed by the I-hate-Bill-Edwards crowd as just spin to help sell season tickets to the few remaining suckers. And besides, MLS sucks and ticket prices will go up and our secret little hipster thing in the obscurity of lower league soccer would be ruined and lose its "authenticity" and Bill Edwards would be to blame for that too. Basically no matter what happens certain people will be unhappy, but if the Bill Edwards and the Rowdies actually succeed they can't say "I told you so" so they have motivation to hope for the worst. Now, I don't know what our chances are, but with the right investment group, the Rowdies could be back in front of the expansion race. Bill Edwards should have done all of this a year ago or more, but I guess he was still thinking in the MLS 1.0 or MLS 2.0 mindset where his initial proposal would have been viable. We seem to be in the MLS 3.0 era now though and MLS wants not just a single billionaire (or near billionaire), but multi-billionaires, preferably more than one, as new MLS team owners. The Tampa Bay Area is the largest TV market (#11) without a team, it is four hours drive from Miami, which is a plus, not a minus, making it attractive to both potential MLS investors, and to potential international footballers who might want to play in MLS but who don't find a spot in Beckham's Miami team. IMO. The Rowdies being a old and well known North American soccer brand doesn't hurt matters, either, and is still a well known name among older soccer people in the USA and in the UK. Speaking of, happy belated 43rd birthday to the Rowdies, yesterday (Tampa Bay Rowdies officially first kicked a soccer ball on Feb. 14, 1975, Valentine's Day). Finally, the Al Lang Stadium location is still unique for potential MLS SSS: an urban, downtown, waterfront stadium. With more money, they can knock down the old stadium, which is an old concrete baseball stand built in the 1970s and is of no historical significance; the wooden stadium all the famous baseball players played at was torn down long before most of you reading this were born. With the old stands torn down they can reorient the pitch properly and build a nice SSS, something similar to what Orlando City has (which is very nice). . The Rays are also moving to Ybor City in Tampa, if they can secure the financing. It is unlikely but if they get it done quickly it could also open up the Tropicana site for the Rowdies as an alternative to Al Lang. Also preseason soccer matches have begun.
