Dallas can probably pay down one of their DPs through TAM or PAM or SAM or whatever acronym, as they don't have outrageous salaries. LA is another story though. So yeah, probably we'll see a rule change by the weekend.

Yeah, 3 out of the 4 DPs in Dallas are within the TAM limit. Unless Dallas has no TAM left, it's a non-issue

A few pundits are saying FC Dallas has plenty of TAM left and this shouldn't be a story. Also I learned today SKC leads the league in players above the DP limit with 9 players. Seattle, Portland, Atlanta and the now in trouble Galaxy are at 8.

CenturyLink field sells so many different beers throughout the stadium. Like enough different beers that they could have a very respectable selection. But it’s 90% IPAs. It drives me up the loving wall. “We stock so many IPAs because that’s what sells!” they say. No poo poo IPAs sell when your options are 8 different kinds of IPA and bud light.

Red Bull Arena likes to do everything in tall boys. They have a decent selection, macro beers from the US/Mexico/Canada with one or two IPAs (generally slightly smaller cans).

I like the 24oz Tecates at Rio Tinto. I don't like paying $10 for a 24oz Tecate at Rio Tinto. We get good beers, with specific concessions areas dedicated to a bunch of taps. Still it's mostly IPAs, pales, with usually one craft pilsner or kolsch available. For some reason they have 3 or 4 handles of mediocre German lagers too, I don't know anybody that goes for that though.

Best beer in the stadium is the Rolling Rock that they sell for $2.50 for the first hour after gates open. Otherwise the beer is way too expensive to care about. Timbers' stadium has a stand called "The Double Post" that's mostly local craft beers which is cool but also annoying as Merritt Paulson promised to buy the Timbers Army a bar if the Timbers won a championship. Piss-poor replacement for a real bar, and he hilariously overreacted when I pointed that out to him. NYCFC is a hilarious place to watch a match because it's a total shitshow no matter what, but they have these weird little machines that pour out exactly one shot rather than free-pouring the way they do in Portland. ...admittedly I try to avoid buying food/drink in the stadium because one day I noticed that the $20 I was about to use had Hank Paulson's signature on it and gently caress did that feel weird.

Virtually all facets of Yankee stadium are awful for watching soccer in, beer included. I still remember the first ever NYCFC vs NYRB match I went to they had so few security gates open that we didn’t get in until the 24th minute despite getting there 15 minutes early. I’m pretty sure that game outdrew a typical yanks game and they had 1/4 of the gates open. NYCFC desperately needs to get their own venue, or just suck it up and split Red Bull arena Jets/Giants style like met life.

If an MLS team can’t guarantee that they’ll have their own stadium plan with natural grass when they’re granted a franchise then they shouldn’t be in the league. Yes, I’m arguing that Atlanta and Seattle shouldn’t exist even with their ridiculous attendance numbers.

I’m sure they’re still paying down RBA, probably helps both teams financially. Maybe we can get a little more aggressive signing folks then.

I mean, everybody is assuming the league will blink because they previously have but - honestly, it's not 2007 anymore, and if they didn't make a new rule to give New Golden Child Atlanta leverage for Almiron why do we think they'll do it here? What I don't understand is why the Galaxy FO is so anxious to keep GDS. Why not just buy him out and be done? (amusing side note: the Galaxy just traded 50k TAM to Colorado for the top spot in the waiver order. If this is all part of some cunning plan I will have to dedicate my first beer of the new season to Dennis te Kloese.)
