If the Athletics make it into the NASL I'll probably support them exclusively.  Next season I'll probably attend games for both teams.  If the A's make it to a higher level league will there be any branding problems with Oakland baseball?  I would think not as long as they don't use any of their branding marks.

Anyone else realize it's been 41 years since Turn The Page was released?  Seems like only 31 years to me.

More like 31 minutes....

I don't think they'll make it with the Roughnecks in town. But I hope the Athletics merge in certain ways. We need one Tulsa team...but we need it to be the the one with the following and the money both for Tulsa to make a run at MLS.

I believe you'll find a few pertinent quotes here... hot off the presses...

Heard a rumor that the NASL group in OKC is going to sell and relocate before ever playing a game.  Any truth to that?  If so, looks like USL Pro wins in Oklahoma.  I would think it unlikely that NASL would try to compete with USL Pro in Tulsa if NASL loses to USL Pro in OKC before even playing a game.

I like the orange home jerseys.

The games start in 18 days with a exhibition game on the 21st and the first regular season game on March 28th (against OKC). Ticket prices start at $8.

Have any of you prepped Guido for the upcoming Womens World Cup?

I kinda agree with this. I know there are plenty of Athletics fans, and I admire that, but one team has a higher chance of success than three (if you count the indoor team)

Also, I'm not a big soccer fan, but this team has me more excited than the other two.

I'll be the hooligan in section 103.

About that soccer specific stadium...

It won't fit in just one block (the TCC location proposal says there is no room for stands) but if you have a superblock, there are options...

We need to think inside the box, the big box. Put it where Home Depot is. Get that monstrosity out of downtown.
