That would be crazy!! But at that point Sandy would have to change their name from Real Salt Lake to something else and they would lose the hispanic population.

And me.

Yes it would. Kinda like the London teams rivalries towards each other. Forget the Cougs vs. Utes (well maybe not). The problem I'd have is giving up my original favorite team (Real Salt Lake) for a new one. Perhaps the only way to handle that would be to move the name to the downtown team, but keep the original players on the Sandy team but with a new name. That way both groups could keep fans somewhat loyal. Of course, this is all a theoretical excercise that won't actually become reality until, what, 2010 at the earliest? 😁

I like your thinking. I think it would become the biggest rivalry in soccer.

I just hope there aren't any cheerleaders, like they have in the artists rendition.

Steve said we will NEVER have cheerleaders! So no worries.

Pastorino has assured me that they will never, ever have cheerleaders.

Please, someone tell me why there are teams that actually have cheerleaders? I can see a football team, or a basketball team, but soccer? I just don't get it. Well, maybe I do, but I just don't want to mention it here because little eyes might see it.

Because they feel the need to Americanize everything. Plus the fact that their crowds need someone to tell them when to cheer (even though it doesn’t work very well). Our crowd, even though we complain sometimes, does know when to cheer and we’re also a whole lot louder than most.

I think the Crapids do it so that they will have at least a few people clapping during the game. Without the cheerleaders, it would be like a morgue at their home games.

Until Tidy Bowl Man decides to throw something in the crowd that is. Then everyone in that section yells at the top of the their lungs for a few seconds to get whatever cheap plastic trinket (I think it was a tiny, little frisbee when we were there) they happen to be giving away that week. Then they sit back down and resume their quiet ways.

Without cheerleaders and the Tidy Bowl Man, Crapid games might as well be played without anyone actually being at the stadium. So I can understand why teams like them might need them.
