so, the articles you link are at 10 years old.
That happens to be the most recent info I have in which men's pro soccer has been played in Tulsa at high school facilities.
I also showed a 2003 pic of Skelly Stadium with 14,000 soccer fans in attendance but you conveniently chose to ignore that and focus on the negative.
Funny dat.
So, what exactly are you trying to say? Is it that south Tulsa is the right place for a minor league soccer team to play?
However, upon reading them, the largest crowd (3,561) was where? Union-Tuttle stadium.
Union-Tuttle Stadium is a reasonable venue....... for USL-2.
The USL brass want a Tulsa team to play in their top division: USL-1.
USL-1 teams average around 4,500 fans per game.
--USL First Division requires at least 5,000 seating capacity; their benchmarks for seating type are 50% individual, 50% bleacher with back. The ballpark offers this; high school stadiums do not have individual seats or bleachers with backs.
--USL Second Division requires at least 3,500 seating capacity; bleachers are okay.
--The ballpark at the fairgrounds has a grass field and no massive football markings all over the field.
--Tulsa has never hosted a USL-1 team.
The demographics are there, not in mid-town, east or north Tulsa. Little Braxton, Dakota and Cheyenne love to be driven in mom's Yukon to soccer practice, it's ever so much fun.
"Little Braxton? Dakota? Cheyenne?"You do
condescending really well, Pepe. You really do.... you have a really amusing condescending sense of humor there.
I'm more of a sarcasm man, myself.
Try to back up your arguments by using substance rather than resorting to condescending and banal stereotypes... your self proclaimed "demographics" about south Tulsa versus midtown versus north Tulsa are far too typical of Tulsans I've met who refuse to go downtown... or north of 11th Street.... or south of 41st... or north of 51st......
It's a huge pet-peeve of mine to hear unhinged Tulsa territorialism.
How else do you think Chris Medlock comes up with his "midtown elite" schtick?
Funny how the same kinds of people who expect all of us to be so very open-minded regarding their downtown-centric mass transit/urban density plans resort to stereotyping and pigeon-holing about "demographics" they know diddley-squat about.
