More red tape but they are still hoping for a 2010 opening.

Any SSS is good news for the league.

Gorgeous. As long as they serve beer I'm there.( I'm looking at you RSL)

Philly and now this.
Makes me think how great BMO field could have looked if the city didn't hold back.

[phonzo]

look at that roof....

[flatpicker]

It is true that BMO was built on a budget.
But one thing I would say MLSE are good at, it's dressing a product in shiny packaging to attract the public.
As TFC continues it's financial success, I am sure we will see money spent on the stadium.

That's an old rendering of an old location. The new rendering hasn't been released yet.

there was a map rendering of the KC site and no longer did the stadium have that roof.

same with the Philly rendering. originally Philly's stadium had a big round roof, like a hub cab, covering every part... then it was changed to something more like Toyota Park.

KC's new stadium will probably look like Toyota Park as well, as that is what just about every SSS in MLS ends up looking like.

only team that seems to be building there stadium more like a European stadium is New York!

that because Colleges and Universities in the United States cant sell beer anywhere on the schools property. Since they use to play in a University stadium they weren't able to sell beer.


Salt Lake move in there new stadium on Oct 7th i think. I beleive they will most likely sell beer at the new stadium!

Are you sure about that? I'm not certain that any stadiums in Utah are allowed to sell beer.

RSL is indeed selling so-called beer at the new stadium. I say "so-called" because anybody else who's been to Utah can attest to the fact that full strength beer in the Mormon state is only 3%. If they charge BMO prices then you're better off getting a Dasani

well said. Also, we have something that a shiny stadium doesn't' have...
