Does this policy encourage fans to go to the Home Depot Center?

Tailgaiting:

In order to suppress potential fire hazards, disorderly conduct, noise disturbances, health code violations etc., tailgating or picnicking in any of The Home Depot Center’s or University’s parking lots before, during, or after an event is not permitted.

Problems caused by an excessive dependence on the automobile in California. Thats a new one. Check out the interstate map on the Home Depot’s Centers web page. A truly impressive web of asphalt.

Curious how do they pick the 12,500 seats that are available? Do the ushers kick people out of the seats that no one could buy?

Bwahahahaha! So completely bush league.

Maybe Lalas should spend more time doing some rudimentary contingency planning for his own franchise instead of giving interviews to the BBC where he tells everyone how MLS is as good as the EPL.

I’m sure an eyedropper’s worth of the Beckham money could have bought some agreement with Cal State Dominguez Hills. Instead we see the truth — the MLS’s showcase franchise is second fiddle to Cal State Dominguez Hills night school classes.

How are they supposed to win fans if they pull shit like that. Ive been to a Dynamo and it was on a thursday night which they uses the University of Houston stadium and that wasnt a problem. Its a bunch of pile of bull that the Galaxy and Co. are eating.

A young David Beckham dares to dream — “Some day I’m going to win the league with Man U, then if I’m lucky, the Superliga title!” Oh, how the mighty have fallen.

Oh! Look! In the picture! It’s me! About halfway up on the left.

In truth, I think I was on the other side of the field, where there were actually people sitting. But still! I was at that game! Right in back of an annoying woman who kept asking her husband things like, “Now. United. Where are they from? Pennsylvania?”

One would have thought that the whole “DC” part of “DC United” would have given it away. But no.

Ah, soccer in the US.

What is the point of these “soccer specific” stadium if the league still has to make concessions for other uses to the detriment of the game? parking in LA, artificial turf in Toronto…

This is still going on? I don’t get Fox Soccer, so I have to rely on the Spanish channels to watch anything, and I thought they abandoned it when the Mexican league teams where playing each other, and MLS was doing the same.
