Portland is a good soccer town and the TC are as well.

Not real interested in playing in another NFL stadium. Soccer specific, or let's go somewhere else.

I didn't say I was a Twins fan! 😎 Just a Vikings. And they are going to win the Super Bowl this year. I can feel it. Of course, I also felt that RSL could finish 2nd in the West... 😠

The Vikings will go to the superbowl, and don't count RSL out yet, it's only June.

I'm wondering if Phoenix has been considered for an expansion team. Isn't Phoenix the 3rd or 4th largest city in the U.S. now? You'd also get a good hispanic base in Phoenix. Just a thought.

I'm thinking Phoenix won't get a sniff by MLS until we go to a normal schedule. Can you imagine a saturday afternoon game in August? They would have to play the games at 10.

I'm in favor.

We can run Lake Wobegon Smack on them.

Minnesota: Where all the forwards are good looking, all the midfielders are brave and all the defenders are above average.
