Not to derail this, but isn't that sort of a "build it and they will come" issue? Realistically, there is just no venue that makes sense for soccer here. I just can't help but think that if we had a 10,000 seat stadium of some sort that this city would get behind a club. McMahon is just not an option for so many reasons, and there really isn't much else. I guess Hellard field is the next closest and that is only about 2000, which isn't going to generate atmosphere or get enough people involved to have it take hold.
