Re: Major League Soccer in Minnesota
I have no idea if it is possible, but you'd think a combination Saints / United stadium would have been a winner somehow... some way to bring the "outfield" in for baseball, but expand it to be a pitch for soccer. Similar capacity, similar non-bruh culture, real grass field, etc. Could ha...

Re: Major League Soccer in Minnesota
On this basis, soccer is somewhere in between - games are both more frequent and over a greater span of time than football, but less frequent and on a shorter span of the year than baseball, basketball, or hockey. Major League Soccer runs from the beginning of March to the beginning of December if ...

Re: Farmers Market Soccer Stadium
Just trying to understand some logistics...so I want to see soccer played outdoors as much as everyone else (believe me I'm pulling for McGuire over Zygi), but what happens when there's too much snow to play in some future March (obviously not this year!)? Would they be able to play a game or two a...

Re: Major League Soccer in Minnesota
Maybe. But aren’t ratings somewhat connected with quality of play? When you tune into an NFL, MLB, NHL or NBA game, you’ll see those sports played at the highest possible level with the best athletes on earth at their respective crafts. Not so with MLS. One issue with TV ratings has been the lack o...

Re: Major League Soccer in Minnesota
I’m not sure if I’d say “literally no chance.” I’m old enough to have attended Kicks games at Met Stadium. At that time we were convinced that major league level soccer had finally arrived. In 1980 the original NASL drew over 5.5 million fans. That’s close to what MLS drew in 2014. But by 1982 the ...

Re: Major League Soccer in Minnesota
I've got no love for Bakk, and I'm not inclined to defend him, but I really don't see the issue. More than anyone else, he speaks for the upper chamber of the state legislature. Telling MLS that there's not going to be state money for a new stadium is courteous. Who knows what McGuire may have told...

Re: 510 Marquette Avenue
Here's an update on this thing, it seems like it's been in slow development forever. Looks like they finally installed the last set of ground floor windows, finally getting rid of the overhanging podium that used to exist. It seems odd that there is only a single door entering the building along 5th.

I was driving around here the other day and wondered if the jail would ever go away. If it did we'd have unobstructed views to city hall from the Commons -- except for the small apartment building being built on the west end. It would be pretty needs to have a front (side) lawn of city hall stretch...

So am I right in assuming that the main portion of the further along building (NW) is topped out? The tower portion will be like 5 stories higher than that? http://webcampub.multivista.com/index.cfm?CFID=b3b17845-5b11-4a56-8e8b-ca2d829708bd&CFTOKEN=0&fuseaction=aPublicWebcam.page&Webcam...
