MLS Team Coming To Exciting Chester
 |
Fair enough. I trust that the Inquirer is correct and Philly will be getting a team in Chester. But, you know, you could also just read this Houston Chronicle interview with the head of MLS from yesterday, where he confirms it as well:
These things are so complicated. We just went through a three-year process in Philadelphia, which we finalized. It's probably the best deal that we have in the league, north of $80 million in public funding for a stadium, but it took a great deal of effort and lots of work with the governor's office, the state (Pennsylvania), county (Delaware) and city (Chester).
Woohoo! We get a soccer team here in Philadelphia, and we get to pay for it with $80 million dollars going to rich people as well. (Now, if only stadiums actually did anything to improve an area.) You may begin fantasizing about an aging Zinedine Zidane coming to play for the Philadelphia MLS club; we're already trying to come up with headbutt-themed fan club names.
Soccer deal is within reach, say sources [Inquirer]
The commissioner has answers [Houston Chronicle]

Getting Keeper Jon Conway and defender Jeff Parke from NYRB would be nice too. Also to get Julian Valentin (just drafted by LA) would be a nice local player return.
By 2010 won't Zidane be too old? What other maximum impact DP's would you tab? van Nistelroy? Luca Toni? Schweinsteiger? Kaka?

Those studies are off point here, since they don't address what's actually being built, which is a huge mixed-development complex for which the stadium is only about 15% (in terms of cost).
Makes no sense to say "stadiums don't bring development" when development is already included in the project.
