This is saddening as minor soccer here is huge. Even the mens league has dozens of teams. However the soccer teams we have had, especially the last had pretty poor facilities to play in.. Foothills stadium really? It was a few bleachers with some port a potties.. If we had a decent stadium and a little more hype I think we could make a go of it. MLS would likely do well here.
