Sierra Mist Goal Of The Week today, (my vote is for Altidore) and I'm noticing again how often the announcers are yammering on about some sort of nonsensical, barely related to soccer subject while one of the teams is driving towards the goal (see Moreno's and Altidore's goal). I don't care if these guys have been coached to not have any "dead air", their opinions aren't so important that they should keep talking while goal scoring opportunities are happening on the field. Now that the English league is underway again, this just makes our announcers seem even more pathetic.8.28.2007
Shut. Up.

Read This::: MLS Atmosphere?
If you follow Major League Soccer at all (and you should), you know that while there are many wonderful supporter groups in MLS, many clubs simply don't compare. Home games for DC, Toronto, Houston, RSL, New England and Chicago are loud and exciting. They give us a wonderful view of the future of the sport in this country, and how unique our soccer fans are. However, games for Dallas, NYRB, Columbus, and Colorado are typically poorly attended and quiet affairs. Somewhere in-between fall KC, Chivas, and (Pre-Beckham) LA, who are looking like they will eventually catch up to the best supported clubs.
The reasons for this have been discussed at length in many different forums, but just to name a few: massive NFL stadia, lack of marketing, amd suburban stadiums that cater to soccer moms and not to the true fans.
Here is a wonderful article on 3rddegree.net by Jason Benfield that compares and contrasts the atmosphere of Chicago Fire's Toyota Park to FC Dallas's Pizza Hut Park.
