With no disrespect to the Metros supporters (who are probably more tired  
of this than anyone else), I'll believe that a Metros stadium is going to  
happen when there are ushers tearing tickets for opening day. They've  
strung everything out for so long that it seems like the FireHouse (in  
Chicago, a town not known for an efficient and impartial political  
structure) is going to be open and hosting games and the Metros will still  
be "60-90 days" from announcing something firm.

I'd forgotten about Colorado - so that would add another to the master  
list. RSL was making noise, but then so were the Indiana Blast, Pittsburgh  
Riverhounds, and...well you get the point. My litmus test for finally  
believing in a stadium is shovels in the ground - or at the very least a  
signed, ink-dry legal document starting the process. The Metros have a  
higher standard because they've taken so friggin' long and backtracked so  
many times.

> Any actual scoop on DC?
Didn't somebody say a stadium was promised to United as part of the  
relocation of the Expos? In '07?

Also - I thought I remembered seeing construction photographs of a stadium  
for the Silverbacks, but I can't find any mention of it now. Was I  
hallucinating?

1994 - Virginia SportsPlex (VB Mariners)
1996? - Blackbaud (Charleston Battery)
1998 - Lockhart Stadium
1999 - Columbus Crew Stadium
2003 - Home Depot Center
2004 - Morrison Stadium (Creighton Univ. - check it out at )
2005 - Frisco, Rochester
2006 - Bridgeview
2007 - Commerce City (Rapids), United Park(?)

Later,
