    Mayor's not worried, we're not worried. Way more interested in the news about the team starting to build the front office staff. Also did a FB live broadcast from McKalla on New Year's Day. It's hard to believe that mess of a site is going to turn into the renderings posted above before long, but it's very exciting!

    Garbage group. Love that they don’t even identify themselves.

    There’s a thread for this shit in a different forum. Also HAR HAR HAR EVERYTHING THE CITY DOES SUCKS is the lowest and least productive form of discourse.

    From Austin Anthem. Today was a good day, gang. https://medium.com/austinanthem/another-step-closer-to-our-very-own-mls-team-9b970a747967
  5. Now holding open tryouts in Iowa. I assume that anyone who makes the team has to buy their own bus pass to Austin.

    @wood Hypocritical like a guy from Columbus who was coordinating with Linda Curtis on opposition to the Austin deal suddenly upset about "out of towners" organizing against Columbus?
  7. We need a new land development code before we get decent mass transit, regardless of how good or bad those in charge are. Hopefully, we are finally working on these things in tandem since Prop J got shot down.
  8. I do like the vision of the Cap Metro CEO. I hope he gets some things done before the good old boy network runs him off. Think he’s too east coast to last for a long time, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing.
  9. Yeah, this exactly. Not sure what the other guy's point was.
  10. While this petition has a vague exemption for ACL and Trail of Lights, it’s definitely aimed at stopping the creation of such entertainment events in the future that would compete with COTA. Which is the real purpose of this petition - not the soccer stadium. ” Part 5. This ordinance shall apply to any sale, lease, conveyance, mortgage, or other alienation of any City-owned land that is or will be used as a sports stadium, sports facility, sports arena, and/or entertainment stadium, entertainment facility or entertainment arena regardless of the effective date of the sale, lease, conveyance, mortgage, or other alienation, except that this ordinance shall not apply to periodic events, such as the Austin City Limits Music Festival or the Trail of Lights, that have been held since prior to January 1, 2018.”

    If you want in early on being part of the supporter arts, Austin Anthem is having our first volunteer organization meeting today from 2-4 on the rooftop at Whole Foods downtown.

    Hagbard probably has the best answer here, but in short, it's because "That's what MLS needs it to be."

    I'm willing to bet money that those people are wrong. There may be local investors, but PSV will be involved.

    McKalla and Austin FC are happening no later than 2021. 2020 depends on a temporary solution. Construction begins as soon as the deal on the stadium is signed with the city, which will be by the end of the year. RFPs have gone out for construction-related services. COTA was funding an anti-stadium petition by out of town anti-semites and anti-trans people. They came clean about it on Friday, then renounced the group on Monday after the money was spent. Group claims to have suspended petition efforts but is really funneling them through another group. Last week, Anthony Precourt had a couple beers in a pub near the stadium site and CM Leslie Pool was in Columbus hanging with Save the Crew. Both show their commitments to their respective cities. Think that about covers it.

    Sean Kelly, director of Save the Crew documentary, who spent a lot of time in Austin filming City Council over the summer (and interviewed a bunch of us) is also in the photo.

  17. What’s the benefit to burning your relationship with the entire soccer community? This move turned off any pro-MLS folks that were willing to buy tickets because they love soccer that much, and also made multiple groups who were pro-both team become #BoycottTheBold yesterday.
  18. The spin on Adler's phrase from the MLS notice is the douchiest part of the whole thing.
  19. Also, there’s no way they build anything resembling that rendering.
  20. Wait. I was on the Bond Election Advisory Task Force. What are you talking about?
  21. Absolutely. Though, there's a pretty big overlap between the pro-soccer crowd and the anti-NIMBY crowd on Council. So maybe follow it if you hate NIMBYs. Except for District 9.
  22. 100% this. If you think Austin died when they closed the Armadillo and don't appreciate how many more options we have today in terms of entertainment, food, culture and activity, then ANC is exactly the place for you.
  23. Had the chance to introduce Adler on stage last night at a Chamber event. He was crisp, clear and to the point. I wish Campaign Adler and Mayor Adler were the same person sometimes.

    Probably the same as IndyAustin’s. Every responsible voter should just take their chart and flip it upside down.
