Sports Business Journal conducted its annual sports facilities survey and Red Bull Arena was voted the clear Number 1 among soccer specific stadiums.

What is the difference between a dive and a flop? In part two of our series ("Fall of the Superman") PF will discuss the art of the dive, which we defined as any airborne maneuvers employed by a player (such as Emmanuel Eboue's tongue extension in the Champions League Final four years ago). The ensuing "flop" is the second movement to this ballet whereas the magic of flight is ruptured by contact with earth.

Red Bull Realizes Financial Failures, Runs Away From NASCAR

"By leaving the sport at the end of the season, Red Bull will leave two vacancies at the sport's biggest level, taking with it their sponsorship money and appeal to the 18-36 male demographic."

As recently reported, FSC FOX Soccer is going through an exciting rebrand in time for the new EPL season. As exciting as that sounds, FOX is missing a chance to generate buzz right now with the Gold Cup. The Gold Cup, now in its knockout stages, will have possibly two weekend games for the US men's national team -- which is a source of very good ratings.

In the relatively short span that I've being a fan of MLS, I have grown to consider the television coverage of MLS to be like the Snake Exhibit at your local zoo: isolated, thought of in a wide variety of fashions from cool to ambivalent to disgusting, and lacking the level of interaction that allows the observer to experience first-hand what is to be offered.

The Sports Business Journal has reported on the findings of the 2010 "Turnkey Intelligence sponsor awareness survey" which gauged loyalty and awareness of sports fans to the products and companies that pour money into their sports. MLS sponsors such as Visa, AT&T and Pepsi enjoy significant recognition among fans of Major League Soccer who showed high cognizance that these companies are official league sponsors.
