You guys are arguing it's very important for the city to determine where a professional soccer team builds it's home pitch. I'm sorry, but that decision should rest with the soccer team.
With all the push back and unwillingness from the city to help. don't be surprised to see it go someplace else. Note, the pro ice hockey team, pro basketball team, and pro baseball team homes aren't within Austin's city limits.
Maybe the better question to ask is why aren't they in Austin?
