News on Stadium; Lower Prices for 2010?

Well, the Q's dropped a heartbreaker against Colorado this past weekend and the blame falls squarely on the shoulders of the .......referees. They were awful. I really can't say much more without throwing up.

Huckerby's Pending Retirement

I am sorry to hear that Darren Huckerby's stint with the MLS and the Quakes will be short-lived. He did bring a spark and excitement to the Quakes in 2008. Hucks is the man (...when he isn't injured....)

Stadium Drawings Released

Well, it is great to see these "drawings". I like everything except for the "open end". I'll believe it when I see it though....I hope that it isn't another "dream" like that new A's stadium in Fremont.
(I do like the idea of calling this place the "Epicenter")

Lower Prices for 2010?

The Quakes also announced that ticket prices will be down in 2010. Well, I think it is a good idea - but what is really going to draw fans is the product on the pitch. But don't get me wrong...I'll be ordering my season tickets and will be thankful for the reduced prices.

A Season Lost

As the last days of summer linger a bit here in the Bay Area, we Quakes supporters are ready for this season to end. we still have several games remaining, but post-season play is not in the cards. Love the team - hate the results.

World cup qualifiers continue to be played and in the CONCACAF group a tight ending is in place. the USMNT is near the top of the group, but could easily drop fo the "playoff" spot depending on the results of the final 2 matches (Honduras and Costa Rica). Aston Villa is doing ok (mid-table) after the first few weeks of the Premiership season. I am really enjoying the increased coverage on ESPN on Saturdays. Despite the Quakes position, I am having no problem in finding my football fix!
