Spurs new soul-less bowl is coming along.

A corner has already been demolished to aid the build.

They'll be building half the new ground around WHL which will look something like this:

Finshed article below. (nice, still keeping a WHL feel about it, and stands very close to the pitch, but yet another oval bowl..)

Orlando have sold out all their season tickets. All the clubs are well supported. The US has really embraced Soccer. The teams are very evenly matched. The league leaders in both conferences have lost and drawn plenty of matches. Anyone can beat anyone.
The closeness of the league is definitely helped by the fact there is no relegation and they have a similar draft system (plus marquee signings) to other US sports.

That looks brilliant tbf. I know people prefer the stadium close to the pitch but at least it's something different from the identi-kit stadiums we get today.

It's awful, I'd rather be closer to the pitch in an identikit stadium than miles away like that

Read that if you are sat in the back row of the stand behind one of the goals you are 183 metres from the other goal :lol: :lol:

Worst 'new' ground of all new grounds. It's horrbile, and the views from the back are awful. It still angers me how they were practically handed it on a plate as well.

Oxford United delay ambitious plans for a new 4th stand with a whopping capacity of 735 which they've been told can be built within ONE DAY. :lol:
