Could the Ragin’ Cajuns be getting a new football stadium?

Soccer is the future. Deal with it or not, I don't care. But, mark my words or bookmark this post, soccer will be the most popular sport in America within 30 years or so. Its inevitable. The movement is already happening.

This is just my opinion.

Wow, a potential second use and source of revenue for this facility.

Can regulation soccer fit without wall alterations?

Wiki "The field dimensions are within the range found optimal by FIFA: 110–120 yards long by 70–80 yards wide.

These soccer field dimensions are wider than the regulation American football field width of 53 1⁄3 yards."

I think it would take an IceGators style pro league to kick start the fan base.

I used to laugh at such a comment but now I do see the possibility due to all the people playing the sport in their youth. The concussion issue in football is also a factor. I do think that as a spectator or TV sport it will have a challenge due to it being such a low scoring sport. Lacrosse may actually give soccer a run for popularity as well. On a worldwide basis, basketball is actually one of the sports gaining in popularity.

Take a look at what's happening in the MLS, check out Atlanta FC. You might not be laughing so hard afterwards.

The only way soccer becomes the #1 sport in America is if the Left succeeds in destroying the NFL and colleges disband football programs.

Do you honestly see that happening?

Look. I love watching the Premiership. It's awesome TV. I might have watched 10 minutes of the MLS. It's the passion that is missing here. This is why Americans will never truly embrace soccer over all other sports. It's just not in our DNA, man.

The only sporting event that garners the same level of passion as non-American soccer is American football. It's in our blood.

You are watching the wrong matches. Watch Atlanta United, Portland, or Seattle and tell me there is no passion. Times are changing and football is slowly dying. Ill leave it at that, and I LOVE football.

The only thing I see is the NFL slowly destroying itself. They are alienating viewers at an alarming rate.

The whole CTE, kneeing, fixing kickoffs.. All this along with the lack of younger generations fixated on classic television is making the NFL less and less of a force.
