Soccer people are desperate for US men's soccer to be competitive world wide, which I personally doubt it will ever be. US pro soccer has decent followings, but the question in my mind is will it be sustainable. I think this particular project is a bit too ambitious.
TQL Stadium in downtown Cincinnati is really nice and the average attendance for 2022 was 22K. I could see the Eleven being able to avg. at least 15K per year. The apartment market in downtown Indy is booming and this project would add to the market if they follow through on the full development. I could see this project being a success, but I do think it would help tremendously if the Eleven could get into MLS.
I would fit that demographic. I watch English Premier League every weekend. I would likely watch the Eleven in person at this stadium a few teams a season if they were in the MLS. But, the MLS product isn't close to being on par with Europe and it's a tough watch for me.
Would have guessed the state's largest school would also be the pettiest?
This looks like an overreaction by the Carmel administration. It appears they got beat, so they are taking their ball and going home. At least they can find some swimmers in a school of 5,000 and remain dominant in something.
Walking away from an opponent half your enrollment after a year of being defeated by them in the two major sports isn't a good look for Carmel. The video is the icing on the cake.
