I'm excited but not way way excited. its still very possible that we will start the season off with a Bob Burling own goal

So we must be cautious

Im more concerned about a new stadium though

watching Denas NYRB play in that sexy complex makes me so jealous that we are still playing in a highschool level stadium - hell lets call it a hill

Stadium resolution passes by unanimous vote : Center Line Soccer - Your source for Bay Area soccer news

Soon enough!

jasonculina · 21-03-2010, 10:01 PM

Yeah i read that a few days ago, its fantastic but im a bit concerned about the 18,000

I hope they leave room for capacity increases because surely san jose is capable of a bigger market than that in the long term

Half the reason why our attendances arent great is because the stadium is a lalalala pit, a brand new one would bring so much more excitment

If our team was half decent wed also be getting great crowds. there's heaps of potential in San Jose if you ask me even if a lot of people disagree. We just need to give the people a better product

tintifra · 21-03-2010, 10:01 PM

Is there any push for Houston to get a soccer-only stadium? I still (partly) blame the terrain for Sounders' playoff loss last year.

Scuba Steve · 21-03-2010, 10:02 PM

Yeah, I think should be the minimum capacity for each stadium we are building (and bigger places should have at least 25k).

There is, but it continuously gets stuck for various reasons.

redbullnewyork · 21-03-2010, 10:03 PM

I can't believe Houston got the All-Star game, what stadium will they even play at.

Scuba Steve · 21-03-2010, 10:04 PM

Robertson. I assume. Unless it is at the football stadium (let me check that).

Yeah, it'll be at Reliant Stadium.

I agree, there's no reason why SJ shouldn't be a big market for MLS.

I blame our inability to finish. And awful luck. Roger too.

Scuba Steve · 21-03-2010, 10:21 PM

Roger won you the cup. Don't swear him off.

jasonculina · 21-03-2010, 10:24 PM

so whats you guys expectations for your teams this season?

i want SJ to qualify for the playoffs but i expect to do that or maybe just miss out. as long as we improve from last season. but if our preseason form continues to the reg season....put me down as top 4

Scuba Steve · 21-03-2010, 10:27 PM

I wrote that we would miss the playoffs again. I'll stand with that.

tintifra · 21-03-2010, 10:33 PM

I think we will make the playoffs. Beyond that, I can't say.

Scuba Steve · 21-03-2010, 10:35 PM

You would not say!

tintifra · 21-03-2010, 10:36 PM

I hate predictions, nobody wants to jinx their own team

Scuba Steve · 21-03-2010, 10:37 PM

Why would you want to jinx your team?

tintifra · 21-03-2010, 10:38 PM

I mean, I hate making predictions as I feel that carries the risk of jinxing your team. Unless it is a silly lowball prediction.

Scuba Steve · 21-03-2010, 10:42 PM

Like D.C. 1 :: 4 Seattle?

DC will finish 2nd last

tintifra · 21-03-2010, 10:53 PM

Just kidding Steve. Don't be mad.

Are you going to the home opener against Revs?

Scuba Steve · 21-03-2010, 11:06 PM

I'll be at all the games!

I predict D.C. will have the second worst attendance while Steve still claims they have the best supporters.

redbullnewyork · 22-03-2010, 12:57 AM

The worst of course will be Dallas. Do you guys think Cunningham can repeat last season's form, or will he just have another average year.
