Potential Bridgeport MLS team

[ZooCougar]

Was I overly conservative on the 3rd part?

Best case - this ends up getting an NWSL team to Bridgeport as well, which will draw flies.

Worst case - see the New Haven Tennis center. State-owned and now a concert bowl, albeit Bridgeport already has an equivalent.

I am going to go ahead and be for this now, just because you are against it.

I hope this happens for my home town!! That‘s an area in need of additional uplift, hopefully the plan includes affordable housing for those in need. There are a lot of soccer fans in the area. Will they turn out for level 3? Maybe UConn can play some games there also.

Assuming you mean New Haven, it’s a little different. You have a perfect storm of Westville banning Yale events, and tearing down the coliseum. Bridgeport has both of these now.

As if MLS would come to Bridgeport.

So I guess MLS is technically coming. Albeit it’s basically a pumped up Academy squad.

USL League One would be better.

I am sure the state will waste money on this
