I was actually out of town for this game, so I'm not sure what the weather conditions were like (on the broadcast it looked like the pitch was soggy, so I'm not sure if there was rain right before). Crowd came in at 5,619, which seems pretty respectable for the third game of a homestand...

1977 Team Hawaii

North American Soccer League (1977)

Born: October 1976 – The San Antonio Thunder relocate to Honolulu.

Moved: November 1977 (Tulsa Roughnecks)

Stadium: Aloha Stadium (50,000)

Team Colors: Gold, Blue & Green

Owner: Ward Lay Jr.

Team Hawaii was a brief entry in the North American Soccer League (1968-1984).  The nomadic franchise lasted just one season at Honolulu’s Aloha Stadium in the summer of 1977 before moving on the greener pastures.

The club began life in 1975 as an expansion franchise in Texas, the San Antonio Thunder (1975-1976).  After two seasons of poor support in West Texas, 32-year old owner Ward Lay Jr. moved his franchise to Hawaii in October 1976.  Lay was the son of Herman Warden Lay, Sr., founder of the Frito-Lay potato chip empire.

Lay, based out of Dallas, was an absentee owner and his club led a star-crossed existence in Hawaii.  It rained during five of the first seven home matches.  Team Hawaii fared poorly under Head Coach Hubert Vogelsinger, finishing out of postseason consideration with an 11-15 record.   Fans stayed away in droves.  Dave Litterer’s American Soccer History Archives site pegs average attendance at just 4,550 per match, which was second worst in the 18-team NASL in 1977.  The ticket sales high point was an April 1977 match against Pele and the New York Cosmos, the NASL’s biggest gate attraction.  Still, the crowd of 12,877 swam in the 50,000-seat expanse of Aloha Stadium.

Shortly after the 1977 concluded, Ward Lay came close to moving Team Hawaii to Milwaukee, Wisconsin.  That fell through and Lay moved the club to Tulsa, Oklahoma instead in November 1977.  As the Tulsa Roughnecks, the club played seven seasons in the NASL before folding along with the rest of the league in early 1985.

Stateside: Los Angeles 2028 has to be the gold standard Olympic Games the City of Angels deserves

City of Angels, Los Angeles has infrastructure, finance and time to save movement, writes Steve Brenner.

MLS

It was supposed to be the moment Miami was waiting for. Four long years of in-fighting, broken promises and plans moving at a pace which would embarrass snails were poised to come to an end.

David Beckham worked the floor before the MLS All-Star game in Chicago, saying hello to his hopefully soon-to-benew franchise owning friends. Don Garber, the commissioner, faced the press who believed an announcement which would confirm Beckham and his investors were indeed voted in as the newest team to help boost the league’s power and popularity.

Garber, though, had bad news. “We’re not announcing MLS Miami today, but I am confident we’ll be able to do that, perhaps by the end of the summer,” he said. “We’re getting really, really, really close.”

Sources close to Beckham remain confident, especially now the proposed land where a 25,000 seater stadium has been purchased.

There are dissenters in MLS ownership ranks with grumbles about the cut-price deal Beckham was able to negotiate. But while the waiting game goes on, it surely won’t be for much longer.
