re: Gulf Coast Premier League

“It only makes sense to try and get clubs from Texas involved at some point and truly become a league that caters to all clubs in the gulf coast.”

been looking up this league, and i think they should think long and hard about the footprint and where their clubs can reasonably travel...

so they have Northshore United now... where is that team gonna play? EDIT-nm, Covington?

i was sitting in the stands at the old Hannan High football stadium in Meraux thinking they should bring a team there. it's owned by St. Bernard Parish Rec Department, and the football bleachers are still there which can seat a few people. I don't know how wide the grass area is but it might be wide enough. A little bit needs to be done, like get a new scoreboard, fix the lights maybe...

i just like the thought of a league with Kenner, New Orleans, maybe a Uptown club, and now the Northshore represented, with maybe another Slidell club, a Metairie club, West Bank, St. Bernard, etc... that's some rivalries there.

i also think we have a good environment to promote and get people out to games... weekly newspapers to advertise in, etc... by the time we get a team we'll probably be at 50,000 population in the parish. we're already getting college baseball next season at Chalmette High.
