Message: [QUOTE="junglehusky, post: 2037095, member: 61"] HFD used to be big on the idea of getting MLS to take over Rentschler so UConn could build on-campus. Aside from the shortsightedness of the state U abandoning a state funded stadium, and the complete absence of any interest from the business community, just take a look at all of the recent MLS stadia being built. They're all more like 20k. MLS is not interested in NFL or college sized stadiums that would be half empty. DC United is building a smallish stadium to move out of RFK, and the Revs want to eventually have a soccer specific stadium and move out of Gillette. Even if there were an investment group willing to bring in a lower level club with aspirations of eventually targeting MLS, they'd be at the back of the line behind all of these cities: [MEDIA=twitter]826822588215259137[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
