I guess that 60-90 day crap finally ended. The New York Red Bulls announced the website launch for their new stadium at www.redbullarena.us. Best part for some who doubt that actual construction is going on, there is a webcam! As far as the construction goes, its all still relatively the same as we posted last time.

Possible Revs Stadium Location Update

2
It's starting to sounds like this is just another Boston suburb to check off the list for New England fans. We talked back in mid-July about the possibility of New England building a stadium in the Boston suburb of Somerville, which is located not too far out of the city. This time however, the news doesn't [. Click to continue reading...

Philly Releases Stadium Design

7
All I can say is, now this is a nice looking stadium. Keystone Sports and Entertainment LLC, the ownership group for the Major League Soccer Philadelphia expansion team, received the initial stadium designs from Rossetti Architects. And even though it looks similar to others around the league, I think this one will be fine and dandy [. Click to continue reading...

Rapids Fans Having Issues With DSG Park?

Maybe this is why the stands at Dicks Sporting Goods Park always seem empty. I try not to get too involved in some of these fan issues with stadiums but after reading this email that was sent to the Sideline Views, I thought it needed to be discussed. Apparently there are some big issues going on in [. Click to continue reading...

Real Salt Lake and the Governor of Utah are coming together tomorrow to announce something big, or as the league's website calls it a "historic RSL Stadium announcement".

Soccer Returning To Tampa

One of the more exciting stories I've read over the last 24 hours or so. Professional soccer is on it's way back to Tampa Bay. Eight years after the Mutiny folded in Major League Soccer and nearly 20 years after the Rowdies exited the field by the Bay. Professional soccer turns next year in the [...] Click to continue reading...

When MLS Stadiums Aren’t Used For Soccer

Ah, a great video posted over at the FC Dallas team blog today. The guys at FCD took a video camera that took half-second snapshots every ten minutes for four days.

I was looking around the MLS/soccer/blogsphere today and came across an interesting article at Goal.com about where is the best place in America to watch a soccer game.
