Cool! We now know where Aerick lives. Everyone get your toilet paper and sidewalk chalk and we'll have a good time.

I just bought some sidewalk chalk today. Here I come.

I wonder if the top TV ratings had anything to do with all the TV games. I think more than half of the away games were televised. We might have also been the most televised MLS team in history (local/national). Do any of the other teams have TV deals?

I audit some companies located in the 10th floor of the office complex at Jordan Commons (a couple of insurance companies run by the LHM folks) and the controller for the companies has an office that overlooks the site in question. State street has a few businesses that are right on the street, but if you look behind them there is a huge open field surrounded by trees. Rumor also has it that the company selling RVs just to the north of the location on the same side of the street are going to sell and move into a larger lot somewhere else. If anyone wants photos from this guy's office window, I can probably arrange for it.

Do like the BORG: assimulate. Those business that find them selves part of the site, become part of the development with maybe a new building/location as part of the total deal/site.

The site on the South of BD Medical is owned by the State Retirement Fund (or some such) as an investment. Good one! It remains a future prospect for somebody (Jazz in 10 years?).

The newspaper articles showed the old farm site, which last summer was in Alfalfa. Question: could there be a practice field be put in during construction? Question 2: why not inagurate it with a Loyalist/RCB soccer "game" before the contruction fences go up?

Any word on the ground breaking?

Just so everyone knows, I put in an *approximate* address. Sheesh! 😁

And if my wife wasn't opposed to it (which she probably would be), we could probably put a person or two up for big games when they came in town. I know that Topher also lives in this area. Heck, with it only being a mile away, we could walk to the games. 😁

The cool thing about our house as well is that it has a flag pole and I plan to put up an RSL flag under the US Flag when it gets closer to the season. :signrocko

Cool. Now we all know where we can park for free and walk to the stadium. Do you have a big driveway? 😉

I was planning on doing the same thing with a flag pole set up like this:

Wouldn't that look good with my blue & red w/crown flag?
