You Heard It Here First

In my last blog, I mentioned the Silverbacks and their new stadium. Here's a pic I took of the Silverbacks in action last Friday against the Charleston Battery, a contest the Backs won 1-0.

The pitch is made of the latest generation of artificial turf material, similar to what the Dome in Atlanta has recently installed.

The stadium is in the first of three stages of development. The stadium currently seats 3000 and will eventually accommodate 15,000 by the end of the third stage...which just happens to be the minimum required number of seats for an MLS stadium.

Coincidence? I think not.

You heard it here first: Look for Atlanta to be a part of MLS' expansion plans.
