Rowdies Home Attendance Thread - Game 5 vs. ATLUTD2 [6/2] (self.TampaBayRowdies)

Another good night for us in comparison to last year. We had 5,953 show up last night. Honestly I was surprised - the place felt packed in comparison to the last two games. Weather was pretty close to perfect. I'd guess with the rain and the Lightning Playoff Run in Games 3 and 4 we had a significant amount of no shows – Ticketmaster showed strong sales for both of those matches, they just felt lighter than last night...

Honestly surprised we didn’t break 6k, felt very full. Curse of the half filled midfield strikes again!

I thought the same thing...I wouldn't have been surprised to see 6,500-ish.

Watch: Birthday boy Freddy Adu score his first goal in more than five years

Freddy Adu's goal -- and a nice one at that -- in the Las Vegas Lights' 4-1 win over the Colorado Springs Switchbacks helped end a seven-game winless streak for the USL expansion team.

It was also notable in that Adu, who was celebrating his 29th birthday, had not scored a goal since September 2012 with MLS's Philadelphia. Between those goals, he had not scored during stints with teams in Brazil, Serbia and Finland and the Tampa Bay Rowdies.

MLS Is Still Waiting For Detroit

Major League Soccer Commissioner Don Garber did his best retired National Basketball Association Commissioner David Stern impression last week following the announcement that FC Cincinnati will be joining the league as an expansion team in 2019. Stern once told New Jersey lawmakers that they blew it by not providing funding for a new arena for the New Jersey Nets in Newark. Garber was clearly irritated with the plans of the Detroit expansion bidders as the MLS is looking for a few good owners for expansion teams. The MLS has filled two of the four expansion slots in a search that began in February 2017.  Nashville elected officials found a quarter of a billion dollars to help fund a soccer stadium in the city and were welcomed with open arms by Garber. Cincinnati politicians cut all sorts of deals paving the way for FC Cincinnati to enter the MLS. But Detroit is not cooperating.

Detroit bid backers originally had a site in mind where an unfinished jail is located. The original plan had the Detroit group take the land over but there was a change in plans and the backers decided that sharing a football stadium with the NFL Lions made much more financial sense. To Garber that was a betrayal. “It set them back. But in many ways, they have come together to retrofit the field, which could make it very MLS-ready and they can talk about what those ideas might be, but they were really front runners when they were looking at the jail site.” Cincinnati, Nashville, Sacramento and Detroit emerged as the four major contenders for MLS expansion teams after a search for cities with owners and stadiums that were acceptable for the MLS. St. Louis dropped out of the running when voters turned down providing assistance for a soccer stadium. Other markets either had owner or stadium problems. The expansion plans continue.

Detroit was once number 1 for an expansion team.

Crew Cuts: PSV, MLS file reply in opposition to city, state motion to dismiss appeal

Attorneys for Crew ownership group Precourt Sports Ventures and Major League Soccer on Friday filed a memo in opposition to a motion filed by Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine and Columbus City Attorney Zach Klein asking the court to throw out PSV and MLS’ appeal.

The appeal was filed by PSV and MLS last month after Franklin County Court of Common Pleas Judge Jeffrey M. Brown ordered a 90-day pause in the city and state’s lawsuit against PSV and MLS and included several provisions that might allow for a bona fide offer from a prospective buyer to purchase the Crew during that window.

PSV, which announced last October that it would explore the possibility of relocating the Crew to Austin, Texas following the 2018 season, and MLS then appealed that order, arguing the pause amounts to an injunction preventing a move and that the additional provisions included in the court’s order, what they described as a “court-ordered bidding process,” were uncalled for.

Columbus and Ohio last month asked the court to throw out the appeal even before the filing of an opening brief because, they argued, Brown’s order was neither final nor appealable.

PSV and MLS in their latest filing reiterated their point that the appeal focuses on their ability to make business decisions “concerning the operations of Columbus Crew SC...an MLS club that has received consistently disappointing financial support from a market with a dedicated, but small, fan base.”

They argue that the pause amounts to a “provisional remedy” granted to the city and state.

Former MSU Billings soccer coach Dan McNally joins MLS-bound FC Cincinnati

BILLINGS – Since he won 71 games during an eight-year stint in charge of the Montana State University Billings men’s soccer program, things have only gone up for former Yellowjacket head coach Dan McNally.

Last Tuesday, a dream came true for the now-vice president of operations at FC Cincinnati, as Major League Soccer announced the addition of the club to the top professional league in the United States beginning in the 2019 season.

“It is amazing what we have achieved in Cincinnati,” said McNally, who has been involved with the organization since joining the staff in 2015. “In three years we have made a huge impact on soccer in the United States. I am very proud to be part of this journey to Major League Soccer.”
