And they were so good at calculus, too.
Do you believe that when the blue jay or another bird sings and the body is trembling, that is a signal that people are coming or something important is about to happen?

Orlando's new MLS logo:



Gotta say, I much prefer the Armada logo :)

Agreed - but I don't hate that one either (kind of partial to the lions). <<<<<

I am really interested in seeing where they are going to build a new stadium.

Orlando will likely win. They've taken gotten two other properties by eminent domain for this project already, and they're willing to pay several times more than the property is worth for the church to move. Miami's a totally different story. I wouldn't be surprised if they end up having to play outside the city.

It would be really nice if Armada could play in the city.

I'd like to see Khan develop a sports museum / bar / restaurant / practice area on the shipyards and the Armada build their stadium on the old practice field. That would be a real sports district indeed.

I agree. It would be nice for the Armada to be downtown, perhaps with some sort of shared complex with the Jags. With so many people interested in taking in Jags training sessions lately a small shared stadium that the Armada could use for games would be great. I don't know if extending a sports district into the shipyards is a good idea tho, unless they somehow integrate some shared use spaces. I've seen Shad Khans initial plan and talked with several other people that have ideas for that space, and I think combining all the ideas into one master plan would deliver the most benefit.
It's time to move past being a city with potential, and become a city living up to it's potential.

I agree. If all of the parties interested in developing the shipyards would combine their ideas and money we could end up with a pretty awesome area that would connect downtown with the sports district. It would be nice if the Armada could build their stadium on the Jags practice field site as a shared venture with the Jags. If the fair ever moves we could build the amphitheater on that site. I know that a lot of people would choose the old county courthouse site for a new convention center but I like the site by the stadium. We would have seven venues in one district. That would be unique in the world.
