I went to some Aztex games when i lived in Austin. They were fun. Similarish to the Jesters, a bit bigger of a crowd than you get in NOLA though.

Austin has a pretty big soccer community so it makes no sense for them not to have a team.

Having the stadium down at the track is kind of a bummer though. The Aztex played right near The Tavern on North Lamar so you'd get people hanging out for a few pints before and after.

Ya, the location is lame. Big negative. They keep throwing around this downtown stadium idea so I'm not sure if this is helping or hurting that project.

I mean, if you set a minor league franchise up for failure 20 minutes from downtown, it is kinda shite to say "soccer won't work here" when that inevitably happens.

I'm not a huge soccer guys, but Austin could use some form of professional sports.
