Actually re-reading Muta's post I assumed he was referring to the soccer stadium as if it is a precussor to an Alberta based MLS team.
Perhaps he didn't mean to draw the comparison between youth registration and the chances of getting an MLS team and was simply pointing out that it is nice that public funding is actually going towards soccer stuff and not just new rinks.
All of that is off topic though. Edmonton sucks and even if they did get an MLS team I couldn't cheer for them, even though I typically prescribe to the "cheer for my local team and if we don't have one cheer for the only other Canadian/regional option" (a la Blue Jays, Whitecaps/TFC).
