How was parade turnout

---

Conti estimated it at about 200,000

I really doubt that. I didnt think the turnout was that great. The weather was cold and some light rain that didnt help. Honestly, I would be surprised if they had more than Saturday night. Near the stadium there was probably a few tens of thousands. Wasn't impressed at the turnout along Baker. It may have gotten more crowded near peachtree when it started. But at the Baker/Marietta area, you couldve walked up to the fence as the parade came along. The only other championship celebration Ive been to was the Warrior's first in 2015 and that was insane and definitely had this crowd many times over

Players that are available for the expansion draft:

Mikey Ambrose
Jon Gallagher
Jose Hernandez
Mitch Hildebrandt
Alec Kann
Kevin Kratz
Jeff Larentowicz
Chris McCann
Michael Parkhurst (Free Agent)
Oliver Shannon
Brandon Vazquez
Andrew Wheeler-Omiunu
Romario Williams
Sal Zizzo (Free Agent)

So apparently the trophy made its way to Magic City last night.

So as of 9:00 PM CT last night, it looks like the cup was with Parkhurst, Guzan, McCann, Larentowicz, Vazquez, Shannon, maybe Robinson, and at least 2 others that I can't make out according to a picture that Parkhurst posted. He then asked where they should go next. Later that night, Shannon posted on Snapchat or Instagram from Magic City.

Lmao, I thought you meant Birmingham and was REALLY confused

So, that means Bello...Right? RIGHT? There's no way McCann gets that job.

Hopefully the new coach will look and see the difference in this team with Garza and with McCann. That should speak volumes in him never being back there again

At his age, that part should be easy. I don't hate McCann by any stretch of the imagination, I just don't think he really fits the mold of this team. Similar to how I felt about Kenwyne Jones last year as our forward when Josef was out.
