  1. If only your club would spend half the time pimping the team as you do they might be able to pull in more than 8K for a playoff game

  2. Are they a small market? I believe that their metro area is top 25 in the country and is certainly larger than Portland, Vancouver, SLC, KC and Columbus. Of that group, they might outdraw the Crew and based on the crowd shots at the KC match, they certainly aren’t filling the place.

  3. No, you missed the point. You can praise RSL or Seattles style all you want and that’s fine… but don’t then turn around and say that the Rapids are hacks who kick everything that moves when the facts, the cold hard facts, prove otherwise, be they in the form of fouls commited or worse fouls (cards).

    “Child please,” you debate about as well as OchoCinco plays soccer.

  4. Rapids are a class organization who continually compete and challenge for the Cup with no DP’s and one of the lowest payrolls in MLS, and in a small market that doesn’t get much attention. Nothing pleased me more than having all of the Rapids haters have to watch the team lift the cup last season. Scoreboard always has the last laugh.
