Is Funk Jr. making the same mistake his dad did with the Blazers? People loved the Blazers but everything fell apart when he attempted to rebrand the team and jump up to a higher level of competition. I have a friend who lives in DFW and was a professional soccer player. He said even Dallas struggles to keep its MLS team afloat. I realize this isn’t about getting an MLS team, but why not do what Boulder Sooner suggests? That seems like a good fit for where we are as a city. And if we are talking about $20 million, why should that investment all be borne by taxpayers?
