I'm pretty impressed with the amount of adult soccer leagues in Nashville and Murfreesboro, and agree with everyone who noted the diversity of culture here. I think soccer in Nashville would be welcomed with open arms by most. I look forward to the day!Jason Kaczmarski- RE/MAX Elitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09099365823769987187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6132734064232084588.post-8673694747922561082011-07-28T14:10:24.407-05:002011-07-28T14:10:24.407-05:00I tend to agree, but it's fun to think about.I tend to agree, but it's fun to think about.Zack Bennetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00439905777189448192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6132734064232084588.post-84446828315363107582011-07-28T13:54:48.420-05:002011-07-28T13:54:48.420-05:00I don't see it happening because the city will...I don't see it happening because the city will not be helpful. Finding an owner would be easy, but finding one that will privately finance a stadium (in this market that is too big a risk) will make it difficult.publius2481https://www.blogger.com/profile/14820463673436958640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6132734064232084588.post-90435310710420689632011-07-22T13:52:10.794-05:002011-07-22T13:52:10.794-05:00I would be a first day season ticket holder to an ...I would be a first day season ticket holder to an MLS soccer team here. I played keeper in high school later on I coached college soccer and I was even an official for a handful of years. Plus, I think an MLS team could thrive here considering that Nashville is a HUGE hub for refugees from countries like Berma and Kurdestan (sp?). Soccer is the world's game and there's plenty of culture in the Music City melting pot to sustain a major league franchise. In my opinion anyway.Jeremyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06663530680244478016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6132734064232084588.post-48893485335658958292011-07-22T13:13:32.380-05:002011-07-22T13:13:32.380-05:00As JR pointed out, the MLS requires a soccer-speci...As JR pointed out, the MLS requires a soccer-specific stadium for each of its franchises. So, it's unlikely Vandy would be a viable option... plus, Vandy's field likely wouldn't allow for the dimensions of a soccer field. It's pretty tight for (American) football.<br /><br />The reason I proposed Greer is because Metro owns that land, and if there's no baseball stadium on it (as will likely be the case soon), what is Metro going to do with it? It would be a simple solution.Zack Bennetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00439905777189448192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6132734064232084588.post-75268012869525522812011-07-22T13:10:16.180-05:002011-07-22T13:10:16.180-05:00I'm not even a big soccer fan, but I could see...I'm not even a big soccer fan, but I could see this being a great fit for Nashville, particularly with the schedule being so different than that of the Titans and Preds.<br /><br />If LP Field wasn't a viable option, what about playing on Vanderbilt's football field? Is that feasible? Greer is a pretty lousy choice, location-wise.Dirk Hoaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03347911551821747694noreply@blogger.com
