A possible USL 1 team for Huntsville, AL

The stadium is just down the street from John Hunt Park, which is where AHSAA has their soccer semis and finals every year. Huntsville is a pretty good soccer town.

If they get a team, I hope it's an independent instead of Nashville's reserves.

If all the reserve sides drop down to USL-L1, then Huntsville could get a Championship team. Hartford has a team and Huntsville has 75k more people.

A Championship side would be interesting with its distance to Birmingham. If Nashville has their own League One side I think they will play in Murfreesboro. We played our Open Cup matches there and I think it was mainly to test things out. The soccer/track field there would be under the size for seating currently but I figure they can just throw up some cheap metal bleachers to get it right.

Anyways, with a team in Huntsville I wouldn't mind driving down to catch a game. I figure there's a good chance we would meet them in open cup or for a friendly.
