Fresh off historically high season-ticket prices and blazing a trail with PSLs for an MLS franchise, Charlotte FC has followed its phenomenal ticket roll-out with news that the squad will compete on a pitch comprised of turf instead of natural grass. Long derided by soccer/association football players, this decision follows a consistent trend with the new franchise. 

What will they think of next?

I think everyone prefers grass but if your nfl team and mls are sharing a stadium, the grass will not hold up.

That is sad indeed. I really would love to keep the natural turf but it does not seem it will happen.

      He was beat on two breakaways, those are hardly “soft goals”. Should have closed the five hole and stopped the last one.  He held it to less than the opposing goalie so we won. Stopped 19 of 20 that’s a .900 SV%. No one claimed he was elite but he’s not terrible either.

      I realize that it has been about 2 weeks since the last post; these things evolve.  I n April we will laugh at our January comments. OK, I obtained some intelligence watching ESPN, I think.  Mina said (and I was not paying attention to the reasons they were talking about this because a squirrel ran by the window) that she does not think Tennessee is interested in taking a QB at #1.  To me, that means it will be Hunter.  Then Dan (i think) chimed in that the Browns may not take a QB at #2.  Oh my!!  I would guess they would trade back, but with Watson being out in 2025, what are they going to do?  I understand that they might move back, pick up an OT, and then pick someone like local hero Will Howard in the early second round.  Lotta tea leaf reading there, but the point is, the teams at the top may not be in love with Ward and Sanders....

      I'm kinda shocked your here usually you don't show up until the playoffs and only then to complain, Freddie certainly wasn't great agaist the rags but it's a team sport Freddie has a .920% and a 2.2 GAA while playing for us in the playoffs two goals a game ain't gonna win you many games in the playoffs. Pyotr on the other hand...... let's just say he turns into last years raanta come playoff time
