2019-Whenever Misc. Grab Bag Thread

At least Allegiant Stadium has a Las Vegas address and is just outside the city limit. The Las Vegas Athletics will have the same situation, they’re outside the city limit. And the team that plays in Landover will be back in DC in a few years.

It's worth noting that this Bears move to Indiana is far from a done deal.

True. But the Bears withdrew from a scheduled meeting with the Illinois House Revenue and Finance Committee today. The Bears still own the land in Arlington Heights, IL, on the site of the old Arlington Park horse race track.
 
So I guess Kane and Malik are taking a huge gamble that they can still somehow get an MLS team because if they are building that for the courage and NCFC alone they are wasting their time and money. On a rare occasion do they even fill the 10k they have now and that’s usually when it’s a Team USA exhibition or The soccer tournament. I’ve been to a dozen or more games in Cary and I’ve never been to one with more than 5-7 k

They also won’t get any tourism money to build the white elephant of a stadium. They’ve been down that road before and the city and county said “Pass”.
 
If Malik was the driving force, I’d be more skeptical, but John Kane doesn’t make rash decisions. If he’s got skin in the game then there’s a legit way to make it work. I don’t specifically know what that looks like right now, but we’ll see.

For sure, but I’ve doubted Kane’s plans multiple times only to be proven wrong. I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt because he’s earned it

If it doesn’t work out he’ll have no compunction about tearing it down and putting in a reliable revenue generator.
 
We’ve talked about the Washington Post taking a weed whacker to their sports staff … and yet again, The Athletic swoops in for some quality writers. Barry Svrluga (columnist, Olympic sports, Nationals, Commanders) and Candace Buckner (WNBA and NWSL writer) have both landed at the NYT’s outsourced sports site. You might remember Svrluga from his short, tempestuous tenure as the NandO’s Canes beat writer that lasted, IIRC, one season.

Svrluga also spent time on the NASCAR beat as I recall. His Canes tenure might have been tempestuous but he was no Cecil Harris.
 
Why? And why ban crocs? Those things are a godsend to people like my kid who have dysgraphia and a very difficult time doing easy things like tying shoelaces. Believe you me, there is not enough time in a TSA line to wait for her to untie and retie her shoes.
