Still, a good read.
I've always been anti-soccer to the point of saying really dumb things like, "Soccer was God's first attempt at a sport. He realized his mistake and created baseball." My young son and I would drive by a soccer practice and I'd say, "How selfish -- they're keeping young boys from playing baesball on that grass."
One day, we were walking past a soccer game on our way to a school and my 5 year old stopped and screamed, "Hey, you're being selfish. Kids want to play baseball on that field. GET OFF!"
Parents, becareful of what you say. We really do create "mini me's" and that isn't always good ...

How much worse can your life get?
I'm sorry you're still there.
Grass
Player entrance at midfield
20,000 seats with chair back, no bleachers
Seats all the way around (at least for games)
Stadium Name. Can't argue with 20 million.
Support....I think this will not be a problem.
Soccer loses me when those sissies fake injuries to get fouls called. You'd think half of those guys are having seizures on the field and then five minutes later, they are running around the field.
What is that about?
"I ain't an athlete, lady, I'm a baseball player."

Soccer stinks. I plan on seeing High School Football games there during state. That's about it, except for maybe a good U2 concert.
Soccer will never work in Utah for the same reasons it never has captured Americans around the country.
And by the way, not one cent of taxpayer money went to the stadium.....but don't let that stop you from having a good old uninformed rant.
Umm, too late.
"You couldnt pay me $20 dollars to watch a game for FREE"
That makes alot of sense.
Thanks for the support. Buzz is buzz, and we appreciate it.
What, you mean the point of taxes isn't to feed my own personal wishes?
If you are against using tax dollars for the stadium then you must be against using tax dollars for all of the things I listed above. If not, then you are an ignorant hypocrite hater. So please people, think next time before you open your mouth and make yourself look like a fool.
