Completely agree. Just adds to the game day experience, never understood stadiums and arenas in the middle of nowhere (PNC isn’t that bad). 
 

The National rugby stadium in Wales is in center of City and game days were just amazing all day events

Not to completely hijack this thread but what do you think about ‘Welcome to Wrexham’ and Reynolds and McElhenney taking over the team… it’s very fascinating from a US soccer fans point of view.

I haven’t watched the series yet but I think it’s great that they have chosen a community club to invest in.

it’s hard to explain how much the local teams mean to the people who live around them. It’s so distant to billionaire owners who only care how much you spend in their stadium. 
 

Add to that that the promotion/relegation in the leagues means they genuinely could make it to the EPL one day (very unlikely but still) and it’s just a great story

I found myself watching Wrexham take on Blythe on Saturday morning in the FA Cup on ESPN. It was a fun watch.

It’s crazy what is shown live over here these days. When I moved over 15 years ago it was impossible to watch games I wanted to. The FA Cup is a great competition, a local community team can end up playing Man Utd and the TV money and gate receipts will help them survive a few more years.

    • i think i go in the opposite direction of most. my ideal retirement is living in some old downtown area in a flat above some shop or something.  life out in the country was just something i got real tired of. My kids actually miss some of living out there, which i understand. that was where they grew up for the most part. 40 acres with a 2.5 acre pond. it was beautiful, but also way too much (and too expensive) for me to keep up with. 
    • FLASHBACK: I remember back when ESPN was just starting--he was their anchor.  They used to show stuff like Rodeo and field hockey--I remember laughing when he went to a commercial mocking a cycling competition in Utah (or something similar--I made that up) and I laughed.  I told my dad, "We may have us a new anchor when we get back from commercial."  When they came back from commercial, Berman was looking very serious and he said, "Any comments by me do not reflect the views of ESPN....The men and women who cycle are dedicated athletes and we are honored to shine light on their sport." (Paraphrasing).  Dad laughed hysterically. My first memory of him--and that was like 1980.
    • Might not have a team without them. Although that probably applies to the Panthers, too.
