The Official PayPal Park thread

It's definitely a hot bed, (but, that refers mainly to the actual temperature).

 

It easily could have been here.

 

Except the Hunts paid for it whereas Fisher didn't... just glad Hunt brothers are spending money on soccer instead of trying to corner the silver market...

 

That happened almost 45 years ago and the Hunt brothers are all dead.

 

I am aware, I was comparing how the previous set of Hunt brothers used their wealth to the current set of Hunt brothers

 

I worked with a Hunt once (not one of Bros). He insisted on being called Michael. It took me a while to figure it out.

 

Have you not seen "Porky's"

 

His buddy, Mike Oxmall, had it worse.

 

I guess not. Is that the one where he ********s a pie?

 

No.

 

Hmmm, Didn't see that one either.

 

w/ @3rdDegreeNet claiming on his pod, that not only are the sun baked East side, and the non-functioning North stage being demo'd and replaced, comes the stunning news the WEST side (press box & club) are too. Now, how will FCD play during all this? https://t.co/fBNKxpN5De pic.twitter.com/FzsnHhkGqc

Sounds like major renovations are coming to FC Dallas' home. This could well be the first MLS 1.0 SSS to get modernized to current norms https://t.co/QjjlwOzD0q

Am I missing something or are there none in the bay area?

 

Mostly places that are miserable during the summer, but maybe that's the point? Why get soft playing in the Bay's perfect weather?

 

Irvine is miserable all year!

 

Truth

 

Plenty of host cities aren't on that list--no Seattle, Vancouver, New York, Miami. As I understand it, there will be both team base camps and venue-specific training sites for teams to use temporarily when they fly in for a game. Also with 48 teams I assume more base camps will be added.

 

Base camps (i.e. a club's facilities) are selected for the quality of their training facilities and travel time to games, with lesser consideration for nearby amenities like beach, golf, fun, etc. If a team only anticipates one game here, they wouldn't stay around here.

Can you imagine England or Germany using the Quakes facilities and being happy about it? No way.

 

Guatemala just used them and Honduras has in the past.

 

proves my point — only the small-budgeted nations

 

Anyone know if they are going to show the Copa America or Euro Cup games at Pay Pal Park?

The Quakes may be having a terrible season, but let's put in perspective!!
