i think the plans called for rebuilding relocating SB somewhere close by, but they seem to have learned from their last mitake when they town Park Field and had to rush the stadium construction because the Diamond was in exact same spot. This time, if they build a new stadium, they'll won't do that, so the new stadium couldn't be exactly where the Diamond is now. so they were thinking of somewhere over in the area of SP and the City building are for the new stadium, then once it gets built the flying tree rats would move there, they'd tear down the Diamond, and the space for parking and a "new" Sportsbackers. That might indeed leave VCU to play at City Stadium one season or so.. which would ROCK i think.

Well if they indeed build a new sportsbacker that would be fine it just seems weird to have a proposal that tears down a young stadium(Sportsbacker was only built in 1999). I just don't think any permanent relocation to city stadium will work for VCU. i got a feeling VCU and VCU athletics would fight that to the death with the nice stadium we have now. I think VCU would live with a year or so of playing there though. Perhaps the Kickers and VCU could come to a agreement that would allow them to work together on a new stadium they could share. All I know is that VCU's soccer program has been trying to rebuild to get back to where it was as far as being a soccer power in the CAA and having a good attendance. If its soccer fans hear we're losing our young stadium and we're going to city stadium those efforts will take a hit. I'm not taking a shot at city stadium but just saying that fans have gotten very use to Sportsbackers.(Honestly I think most of us would take a stadium made in 1999 that gets updated over a 1930s stadium that is in need of repair) I think they could live with a year or so if they know they will have a new stadium soon enough. I do think if a new Sportsbacker is built Kickers should move in with VCU.

Im not worried aboput where the Kickers play right now. The one thing I know is THEY WILL PLAY. This club is very conservative, which I like. They do things the right way and take their time doing it. With that said I forsee something at Ukrop Park or maybe even a tie in with Sportsquest. I prefer Ukrop park mainly because I would like it to be soccer specific.

And I like it because its 5 minutes from my house!

Kind of off topic- So you have the CornerKicks and La Brigada Roja(I could be wrong but isn't that the name of a terrorist organization?) in a corner. Now we have another group I heard about too. I don't know the name of it though.

Big Dave's all-star band ?
