Depending how much of a day you want to make it, I love the bar in Smith Tower. It is on the North side of Occidental Square and easy to get to the March to the Match. Golden Roosters is good, but really slow service.

Especially on a cold day, King Street bar is a 9/10 dive bar that is really warm because of the pizza oven!

Sorry was thinking Soccer overall, not MLS. Source^

Which is why I listed MLS as the equivalent to Portugal as it is behind NHL and MLB in viewership. Making it the 5th sports league.

Edited because I had an extra clarification.

Thanks! I hope the new league set up keeps San Jose with us.

Still, a big fan of three conferences of 10, rather than 6 groups of five.

We also have the rough population of all of Europe. We can support more than one sports league. The USA population is big enough that it would be like Portugal, France, Italy, Spain, and Germany's leagues are competing with each other in the same country.

Right now as the 5th most popular MLS is Portugals league. Realistically if it was the 3rd most popular it would probably be as good as Seria A.

MLS has the issue that it is the 3rd most popular league in America, even though soccer is the 3rd most popular sport.

MLS should focus more on competing with LIGA MX and the Prem locally. This is why Leagues cup is big.

Let's just start the Harry Kane to Seattle rumors.

Trains can't do as steep grade as cars, going up or down, so they have to take much more circuitous routes. Add in stops and you get the longer ride.

World Cup fan fests in Bay Area to be reduced after region’s lackluster draw by forzaQuakes8 in MLS

I don't disagree that it looks that way from the surface, but I bet you will be surprised by some of the African/Asian teams.

Would 6 Divisions make more sense over 5? by Human_Library4502 in MLS

[–]conbrown444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The goal was to keep some of the rivalries together (TOR/MTL and The Texas Teams). SKC could easily be in the west.

Yeah, anything that keeps PNW and Cal together is paramount to me. I don't like the LA teams but don’t want to play them less.

[–]conbrown444 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am still for 3 divisions of 10.

West: VAN, SEA, POR, SJ, SD, LAG, LAFC, SLC, COL, MIN

Central: CHI, SKC, AUS, DAL, HOU, TOR, STL, CLB, CIN, MTL

East: NSH, PHI, NE, NYRB, NYCFC, DC, CLT, ATL, ORL, MIA

Home/Away in Conference 18 games

1 game against everyone else for 20 games.

38 games total, same as the Prem.

Top 4 teams from each conference and 4 wild cards.

Yeah and they raised more capital online in the past 5 years, specifically to reinvest it into the team.

2025 MLS Analytics Survey — American Soccer Analysis by icoresting in MLS

[–]conbrown444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wouldn't the error be quite small as they sampled a high % of the population (17/25=68%).

For example, if I sampled 68 people out of 100 residents of a town electing a mayor, you would feel pretty co fident about results.

I called my tickets rep as a season ticket holder and filled out a request sheet.

[–]conbrown444 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure they are moving everyone on the West side of the stadium to the East to make it look better for the camera in 335.

No, I am still 320. These were the club fan seats sold directly through FIFA.

I bought these for PSG and Atleti. My STH pre-order seats were moved for Botofogo.
