MLS Expansion: Miami and FIU Stadium
Filed under: Barcelona, Expansion Team, MLS, Miami Fusion
Miami is getting waaay more serious…
FC Barcelona and Marcelo Claure, President of Bolivar Futbol Club are in discussions with FIU about possibly bringing a Major League Soccer expansion franchise to FIU Stadium. Before FIU’s football practice Tuesday afternoon, a ”Welcome MLS” sign was playing on the FIU Stadium video jumbotron.
FIU built its new stadium not only for Golden Panthers football, but with soccer in mind by putting the seats as close as possible to the field, but with enough room to allow for soccer matches to be played (check out the huge sideline above - retractable stands).

I hate to be a dick, but that photo is really old. The stadium was recently renovated and what is shown in this photo is really not an accurate representation of what the stadium is like now. Check out the Wikipedia article on it for some more up to date photos.
horrible idea…it already failed once, and it’s bound to fail again.
What a dump. Please, no.
