I think these soccer specific stadiums, while built on cheap land in the suburbs, are killing themselves if they can't tap into the captive, urban sportsfan market. But maybe things will pick up... I certainly hope so, as I'm a big fan.

I know Id certainly go to more games if it werent out in the boondocks way up in frisco. Sure its a nice setup but how much can you do with poor attendance?

Perhaps it was the Cunningham homecoming effect, but I thought it was still odd. I actually went to the Columbus game, and people there said that it was the largest crowd this season.
