Now, don't get me wrong, I'm all for European flavour to the game and atmosphere, but realistically, to grow the game in America, you're going to have to add some American flavour, which includes marching bands (as long as they don't play during play) and thundersticks. As long as it doesn't have a negative effect on the onfield product (ie countdown clock, shootouts int he regular season, clock stoppage for deadballs) I'm all for it, because a bigger fan base is gonna lead to more money and eventually better soccer.
