purpleronnie - January 20, 2008 05:14 PM (GMT)
Well I'm off to Houston again for 6 months possibly march or april (not confirmed yet). I will be working in the same place so hopefully I can get my apartment in the same place as before and renew my affair with MLS and Houston Dynamo.
Excited but its always stressful even though I've done it many times over the last decade.
Looking forward to the hot weather, the cheap living, the end of big brother watching my every step, and of course watching Houston in a stadium with no stewards fans who stand without hassle although the bouncing up and down its hard on my kness....lol.

When you can could you give us an idea on what crowds you get and the other teams in the League. I just want to see if the MSL crowds are going up and if soccer is up and coming over there as it is in Japan and S.Korea.

Agreed plus its one or two clubs thats bringing the average down.
Some teams average over 20,000. Some are also considering moving to bigger stadiums and some are.
Also there are new teams being added each season the demand is high, most cities want an MLS team.
It really is very popular but I think still has a stigma from 30 years ago. But things are very very different now.
