Lead Miami MLS Investor Jorge Mas Wants More Ambitious Stadium Site

If there are any takeaways with Marquez’s preseason, it’s that he shouldn’t be starting for the Union. The final preseason against the Tampa Bay Rowdies, was in fact, very rowdy. The Yaro - Marquez pairing was a complete disaster and it wasn’t entirely down to chemistry. Getting beaten on multiple occasions doesn’t inspire confidence for the fans, Jim Curtin, and even himself. While he may be an experienced CB in MLS, developing ex-academy players in a squad with an average age less than 25 isn’t a bad look for this team. With that said, his minutes on the field may go down slightly.

Rays, Lightning, Rowdies and Bucs executives to face off with 'super fans' at TBBJ's Business of Sports this week (bizjournals.com)

Looks like this has already happened; was wondering if anyone went or heard about it:

"Confirmed executives for the afternoon event on March 1 at One Buc Place include Lightning CEO Steve Griggs, Rays co-president Matt Silverman, Bucs COO Brian Ford and Rowdies owner Bill Edwards."

Yeah...it happened yesterday. Dan from the UnSubs represented Rowdies fans. Team made some posts on Twitter.

Wish I could have made it over there to watch it.

This video will give you a key insight into my game day routine and how I prepare for an important preseason match up. Preparation is one of the biggest factors for a professional soccer player to allow themselves to compete to the best of their ability.

This footage was taken on 02/17/18 for our preseason game in the Suncoast Invitational Tournament against Montreal Impact. I will show you everything I did from waking up to recovery after the game.
