While I think it would be a fantastic idea for the future, I just don't see the city building that any time soon unless it were a completely privately-fueled investment (Another Gaylord team?)

Regardless, it is a good idea, especially to adjust for the growing influx of Mexicans and general Latin Americans. MLS is a fascinating sport. If we can build a skate park that really doesn't bring in any revanue for the city (which I can't fathom why there aren't any arcades around the complex or paintball fields. Something to generate revanue off of the skaters.) I can't see why we couldn't build a soccer field to please both the minorities and the majority.

While I think such an investment would belong in an area closer to a higher Latin concentration, it may do wonders on the south side of the river or closer to the proposed Latin neighborhood that was in talks of renovating. I think an MLS team would probably have waisted potential on the UCO field, though the good faith and measure is there. A project like this would also be great closer to the interstate for tourism.

I also know that many would continue to shoot down the idea of a new football stadium in favor of the two-team rivalry, however it amazes me that we are not an NFL city. Spartan (I believe it was you who had the riverfront proposal,) do you know if the area south of the river next to I-35 is has actually been zoned as a sports complex or just in talks? I think we could all agree it would be fantastic area for whatever would work best.
