Thread: Official 2011 MLS season thread

Looks like a bunch of teams changed jersey designs for this season also. LA, Seattle, Houston, Toronto, KC, and I think a couple others all made some changes. The new Galaxy road unis look very sharp.

I got my tickets for the home opener for the LA Galaxy! It should be a lot of fun I'm thinking

Construction begins in H-Town

Galaxy fall on PKs in Beckham's return

Great to see all the SSS pop up. Should be the most exciting year in MLS history

With Houston's and KC's stadiums, that leaves only San Jose, NE, and DCU without SSS. DCU and NE aren't remotely close to SSS, whereas the Quakes have at least started the clearing of the property where they hope to build. If the Quakes get it done, it ought to be a terrific success.

Speaking of Houston, why did the MLS allow AEG to own two teams?

Even though the Safeco Field looks to be the permanent home of the Sounders, they still need their own stadium. Fake grass FTL.

Well, fake grass is an issue to be sure, but no way that Seattle has the means to build a stadium big enough to house all their supporters. It's one thing to build a stadium to hold 20K, quite another to support the 40K that the Sounders would need.

I think the Galaxy could draw that many if HDC's capacity was that big.
