San Antonio poised to bring MLS team to town
via Yahoo
SAN ANTONIO (AP) -- A Major League Soccer team could come to San Antonio as early as 2006 if several conditions are met under an agreement reached this week between the league and city.--What stadium are they talking about? Alamo Stadium would be cool, if they could convert it to grass, let them sell beer and not ass-rape people when they pay for parking. If not Alamo Stadium, are there plans for something out by Retama? Will one of my Texans email me please?
The MLS has agreed to grant San Antonio a team if an ownership group is secured, 5,000 season tickets are sold by Aug. 17 and plans are completed for construction of a training complex that includes youth soccer fields.
``As one of the country's fastest-growing and most diverse cities, MLS is convinced that San Antonio is an ideal home for a Major League Soccer club,'' MLS commissioner Don Garber said.
Garber said the 12-team league is in discussions with several possible ownership groups. As part of the agreement, the city has agreed to provide a stadium. The deal grants the team rights to all ticket sales and certain sponsorship and stadium signage sales.
