re: Resolution passed in Louisiana Senate to look into MLS franchise

I was af the burn Olympia game at Tulane. The burn had a center half that was by far the best player on the field. Got a couple of call ups to mnt then blew out a knee and career ended.

I think the problem with mls and New Orleans is that it does become a grind. It's not simply one game per week on Saturday evening. They play a ton of midweek games and a lot of games with second and third teams. Not big draws. Plus I think some of the shitty mls teams won't draw huge crowds. It takes a large, passionate fan base. And it may draw the first year but what about year four or five if they are a mid to bottom of the table team.

A single owner would have to be a major baller. Tom benson type. Entry fee isn't ten million anymore. Mls teams are getting more and more expensive. And the league is going to want a soccer-specific stadium. Too many cities would gladly throw the money at a team and they have much more soccer tradition - Orlando, Atlanta, Minneapolis, St. Louis. All would be ahead of Nola unfortunately. Possibly Phoenix, Indianapolis, Miami and Charlotte or Jacksonville as well.
