Philadelphia MLS expansion

So its apparently down to Deebo and St Louis for the next MLS team. This is the stadium we would build if we won apparently.

Hopefully the colors are green and something so I can just wear my hoops when I go.

 

a stadium so close to the water... wouldn't fancy that in december brrrrrrrr
that said, its probs till warmer than glasgow in the summer

 

The MLS doesnt play in December.

 

plus I think Deebo is much colder than Glasgow in winter.

Philadelphia should get it, its one of the larger US cities, much bigger than St.L right?

stadium looks fantastic

 

Deebo is the 5th largest city in the US behind New York, LA Chicago, Houston.

 

spend a few hours in Deebo in 2005 in downtown and on the subway, was changing flights at PHL and had about 7 hours to kill, think I was the only white person there :icon_mrgreen:

 

Haha where did you go?

 

Dont know the exact area name, although i'm prety sure it was in "downtown" area

 

Surely if you went in Center City you would have seen a lot of different races.

 

Vancouver needs to get of its * and allow our stadium to be built so we can enter

would fit around 20-25k

 

our stadium is in the next county should just do that then * the city itself.

 

exactly. one of these MLS spots should have been Vancouver but because the beurocracy in this city is absolutely ridiculous it's begining to look hopeless. We have a strong ownership group and a stadium proposal in place but right now it's actually the federal govt that is stalling the negotiations with the port land.

 

good for philly, don't they have a traveling supporters group thats pretty strong already?

 

That looks like it would be an impressive stadium if it gets built.

 

That bridge is the Commodore Barry Bridge which goes to NJ.

Who was born in Ireland and led the Navy in the revolutitonary war.

 

Interesting * bit of info there.

 

well we were awarded the club today by the mls. Wont play until 2010 tho.

 

the stadium will hold 20,000 which seems about right - definitely a lot of football fans around philly i think it'll be a success - have you seen the badge they're using!! its the skull of Ben Franklin with a crack down the middle (like the liberty bell) - i wouldn't be surprised if he's holding a cheesesteak and a gun aswell just so we definitely know its philly!1
