What about a big high school field like the Gopher Bowl or Mansfield ISD stadium?

I'd like to go to the St Louis v Boston game but as I'm president of The Inferno, I'll be at PHP watching FCD take on KC.

I will be up in Boston for the 6/24 game vs Washington. I then hope to be in St Louis for a bit of a vacation (as I enjoyed the little bits I saw in January during the MLS Superdraft/WPS draft weekend) and catching the 7/22 (v Sky Blue) and 7/26 (v Gold Pride) games. Then heading back up to Boston for the 8/9 game (v LA).

I'll then have seen all 7 teams play during the league's first year.

Yes, I'm a dork like that. :)

Well, we can't count on FC Dallas to quench our thirst for goals or quality games.
Who would be the player to build the Sting(that's the name of our team if we get it going) around? It would have to be a veteran who could be captain and leader, domestic or international. I'd love for Birgit Prinz to tell Frankfurt she's leaving them for WPS, but just our luck she'd get snatched up by Philly or Atlanta first.

so, i think that they should definitely get a team in dallas! i mean, a lot of people will go, so why not?! and the cotton bowl isn't being used, so why can't we use it?! why can't they be lenient toward the WPS to use it?! come on dallas!!!

SMU is probably being a bit stingy, and also wanting to see how the attendance numbers will be for the rest of the teams this season. They'll want a cut of the ticket sales, and all concession profit. Also, with SMU being not too far off the beaten path called 75, their field would be easy to get to for fans, and for opposing teams with a great view of Big D.

It's understandable. I wonder how much it would cost them to play at SMU. The stadium there is perfect for the numbers the WPS is looking to draw.

Size wise, Yes PHP is perfect!

It's what they are asking for the rental fee vs how many "paying" fans they actually can average over a season.
The old NASL "Dallas Tornado" had to bounce to a few venues because of the "rent" issue.

Yeah, I'm going to STL in August to see Boston take on Athletica. It'll be another great game, I mean, none have let me down so far. They are playing great, BUT does anyone else feel disappointed? Think about it: all those ladies playing for Gold Pride should and would be playing for Dallas instead. Gold Pride was supposed to be ours!! It stinks...

I haven't heard anything new since the news that they're trying to secure a stadium. But things don't look good since Dallas 2010 isn't even in the drop down of teams on the WPS main site now.

For what it's worth, I and a group of 7 more people went up to St Louis for their first game vs Chicago. The field they play on is sprint turf and not grass. Capacity of the stadium is around 4500 but announced attendance for the game was 5008. It was a great road trip (even if Chicago did win)!

Isn't Texas Stadium going to be torn down?
