Could the Citrus Bowl work for MLS? (Photo via Orlando Weekly)
I think it is fair to say by now that Orlando is in the mix for the MLS expansion race. Maybe
not club number 20 but certainly number 21, whenever that may be. Major League Soccer is likely
hoping to use other cities like Orlando - to help push the bid for a second New York club in the
league.
I'm certainly not the first one to look at possible replacements for Steve Nicol since his
departure two days ago. Several of our fellow Revs outlets (most of which are listed on our
blogroll to the left) have already put some names out there, some good, some bad, and some
baffling.
I'll get to that.
Y'all seen the latest rendering of the under-construction SSS in Houston? So rad. Kinda looks like
a biodome with a sunroof in a way but that's not a knock on it. How could you bag on something this
baller that's right downtown. You can't. Unless you are an ass.

Y'all seen then stadium proposal in Detroit? Looks crazy but if they can pull it off more power to
them because I actually think The Mitten would be a better spot for an MLS club than The Wang. Not
nearly as fun of a roadtrip -mojitos and beaches top all- but a better home for a soccer team.
I must admit I have not been giving much attention to COE football until this afternoon at the Old
Police Academy.
Alerted by "Liga Singapura" that the title decider was going to be staged at the once Police
training facilities, I decided to head down with my camera to snap some shots between Home United
and Tanjong Pagar United.
For those of you not yet in the know, the league's next SSS will be planted in downtown Houston,
across the street from the Toyota Center and Minute Maid Park to create a nice little walking
Stadium District. The only outlier is, ahem, Reliant, a millennial stadium with very little
personality that is inexplicably located on the outskirts of downtown.
Stade Saputo is ready for its closeup.
There isn't much to see yet, but here's what's poppin' at the Houston stadium construction site by
way of what appears to be a camera attached to balloon. It might not be nestled amongst the
skyscrapers like Seattle's multi-use building but this is definitely in the downtown core even if
it is a little on the edge.
You know you are a baller if you give interviews on a golf course and you are not a player in the
PGA. Check out The Don getting all Big Willy and talking expansion, the D.C. stadium saga and
various other messageboardy topics in between working on his short game. Play on boss.
I wish someone would do a documentary on the rise & fall of the Rochester Rhinos. 7 or 8 years ago
they were the darlings of the U.S. second division with a U.S. Open Cup title to their name,
outdrawing a few MLS teams at the gate and getting a SSS at a time when few big-league clubs had
one.

Most teams with one win, six losses, and three ties since the season began would probably feel
like they have nothing to look forward to. But while Sporting Kansas City may have such a record,
they sure do have a lot to play for, as tonight the true test of their rebranding will begin with
the opening of LIVESTRONG Sporting Park.
So I spent a good part of yesterday at the new park in Kansas City and the place is a palace. So in
the interest of sacking up and stating that I was wrong, wrong, wrong I hereby rescind my previous
statement re: LIVESTRONG's place in my personal SSS pecking order. For me this place is in a dead
heat with RBA for the number one spot.

Just booked my flight to KCK for a double-dip at LIVESTRONG Sporting Park: the Sporting KC v.
Chicago Fire match to open the building on June 9th and the USMNT's Gold Cup match v. Guadalupe on
June 14th. If you are going to be in the area shout me a holler because I need some proper BBQ.
Can't.
Sporting KC striker Teal Bunbury toured the nearly complete LIVESTRONG Sporting Park with
MLSSoccer.com.
The stadium will open on June 9th when Sporting hosts rivals, Chicago Fire, and then Kansas City
will open its doors to the U.S. National Team for the first time in ten years for their Gold Cup
first-round match against Guadeloupe.

When I grow up I want a voiceover voice. Those things rule. Except for when you're trying to talk
dirty I imagine, then it would just be weird. But when you are selling the virtues of a
soccer-specific stadium to interwebs it's just down-right awesome. Almost as awesome as this
stadium is going to be.
The dream is finally becoming a reality in Houston. Shovels will go into the ground this weekend
on a brand new stadium that will become the new home of the Houston Dynamo. The Dynamo have been
working long and hard on getting this project to become a reality after leaving San Jose for the
reasons of not being able to land a stadium.
Houston, are you ready to holla & pop bottles on Saturday? Hope so but even if you aren't a whole
lot of us around the "New Soccer Nation" will be doing it on your behalf when the Dynamo break
ground on your new downtown stadium. The place looks like it'll be pretty hot (both temperature &
design-wise) and I honestly couldn't be happier for you.
