I thought this was about Andy Swift.

Buzz and Chamo,
How bout a little love for the puerto rico islanders? I came across their CONCACAF Champions League game last night and it was pretty entertaining with the former FCD coach and trialist/reserves (Sandi Gbandi and Scott Jones) involved.

that was one of the biggest news i noticed w/ scheduling…few afternoon games in the texas sun. great job by the club in recognizing that. the summer evening heat/humidity here should still be used as an advantage. great idea about the thermometer by the visitors section. part of the game is mental…it’s great to gain that edge already.

Hey John – long time no see/chat!

Back in the day we had a BIG thermometer (size of school clock) that greeted the visiting team’s line of sight as they entered the field… nothing like 120 degree reading at field level to make you psychologically start melting.

By the way – big props to the scheduling mavens for not having any afternoon games in Dallas between July and September!!! First time in years

Maybe we should figure out a way to make the grass look like the color of sand. So the field plays the same but the heat and now wind, the pitch give the impression of playing in the desert. This way the opponents would feel like they are frying. Better yet make it reflect like snow and fit our guys with sunscreening contacts.

Check this out… Centerplate is still planning to use volunteers at the concessions apparently: http://dallas.craigslist.org/ndf/fbh/1023831521.html

I hope the training is a million times better so that we can avoid the 30 minute line behind only 7 other people while game-time ticks away. And I hope Centerplate gets a good “#10″ to coordinate. I’m rooting for you!

I hope Centerplate does a good job. Let’s face it – Americans are always going to want to stuff their face at a sporting event, and I can certainly be counted in this group. The quality of food at PHP has to get better for people to continue to consider this a viable option for their money, especially in the sweltering summers we have here.
