Re: [nas] MLS Expansion - San Antonio - article and comments

Probably something to that.  I know, re: Dallas, 
though, the guys did a pretty good job of keeping 
their mouth shut to the regular media.  To a few of 
the guys who will get us inside info (3rd Degree.net, 
etc.), though, they were saying that it would take 
them two days to get over playing on turf and get 
their legs back...  That specific statement was made 
by a rookie, not some worn-down veteran...

At the same time, I think the question about Metro's 
turf is a good one - if it is better, and good enough, 
hey, I am all for it.

I mean, I rode a motorcycle from Dallas to KC for our 
road trip earlier this year.  Sure, it was a nice 
ride, but 1100 miles in two days?  Are you kidding 
me?  And I have one of the more comfortable saddles 
out there (albeit stock).  I would MUCH rather do half 
that to go to San Antonio.  I mean, the ride to the 
USA-Mexico game in Houston was a much easier ride.  So 
if it doesn't affect the quality of play, bring it 
on.  Granted, not everyone takes these road trips on 
motorcycles, but then again, eight hours in a car 
isn't that much better.  A half-day drive is a lot 
easier to pull off, cheaper, easier on the body, etc.

I am just not sure that is the case.  If anyone has an 
ear inside the Metro lockerroom, what is the word?
