Fantastic looking stadium. I’m loving this push to build European looking 20-30k stadiums

[@franciscomiguelrengelmoren7098]

The capacity of specific soccer stadiums should be increased to accommodate a minimum of 30,000 fans, as Nashville SC did in its own stadium, but stadiums of 20,000 are still too small, so the ideal would be for most stadiums to have an average capacity of 40 to 50,000, as in the major European and South American leagues.

European Iooking?

[@simkelacasa]

@@franciscomiguelrengelmoren7098 The good thing about those stadiums is the steel structure, and if it is necessary to expand it to an additional 10,000 seats, it will not pose a problem, as it would if it were reinforced concrete.

Would be nice if MLS scheduled each team to play every team once a season so every other year we could visit newer stadiums.

[@SuperHamrick94]

I think if they had divisions inside each conference so that they played their division opponents 2 times, then you'd be able to fill the schedule out. Otherwise, you have 9-10 games where you have to play someone else twice with no way to decide who those 2nd time opponents will be.

[@LJ_S1K]

@@johnglue1744 You know how big the USA is? It would be a logistical nightmare to schedule for every team to play each other once, and it would also be very expensive since most teams don't fly private. Adding in all the other competitions that go on throughout the year, the varying weather events, different time zones, makes it almost impossible.
