Did Orange County residents get deceived with MLS stadium deal?

Orlando Sentinel just posted a very interesting article.

Is this the Prison League? Perhaps they have waived the weapons ban at games.

Everyone cut their own deal!!! If you did not like the deal, you should not vote for it.

Any word if the Junior Pro Invitational is gonna actually happen? Haven't seen any info or a link to a list of who is participating. Come on OCYS, get with it!

Seems like quite an uproar in the news since Atlanta got an MLS franchise without a "soccer specific stadium" required.

I guess either Phil is a very poor negotiator or a flat out liar. I think it's the latter. Evidence is mounting that the County got taken for a ride.

Here's more.

I don't think New York is required to build a "soccer specific" stadium. Atlanta is not required to build a "soccer specific" stadium. Orlando got bent over by Phil and Brazil.

Of course the city of Orlando got duped. What else is new? There is no need for a new stadium, especially if your putting $200M into renovating a stadium you already have. A deal should have been worked into place to use the Citrus Bowl and make modifications to it for soccer.

All these MLS teams don't have a soccer specific stadium at the moment
Vancouver, DC, Portland, New England, Seattle, Portland, New York City FC, etc.

I have always said this about the MLS though. They make up rules as they go along and the rules are constantly changing.

I'm all for MLS, but the deal should have been that Orlando City will play in the renovated Citrus Bowl and modify it for soccer games. That should have been what was proposed. If that wasn't accepted then Orlando City would have to fund the entire stadium themselves. This is politics for you where some people are certainly getting paid behind closed doors.

Yes.

Real question, was the deceit by Phil Rawlins or MLS?

If the $200 million renovation is good enough for the 2015 MLS season why not longer?

Vancouver has a soccer specific with a canopy system to allow for football games, DC is about to get there own soccer stadium at Buzzard Point, Portland has SSS that it allows some other events to take place at it, New England is looking to build a SSS closer to Boston and will have one within the next 5 years, Seattle does not need a SSS, but it will I am sure one day so they can have natural grass, New York City will have a sight and stadium plan worked out within the 5 boroughs, most likely Randall Island within the next 3 years with it built within 5 years. Orlando's stadium is going to be bad ass, like SKC's and will be in a perfect location for soccer. The games will be very intimate and the people of Orlando and Tampa will be able to drink at the bars downtown, march to the games and watch Kaka and Ronaldinho in a pact, sold out stadium. Citrus bowl would not give you that same feel.

Not only that, you will be seeing in the next 10 years, clubs like, FC Dallas, Chicago Fire, Colorado Rapids, Chivas, LA Galaxy and Columbus come up with plans to build new stadiums closer to the Urban Core.
