Great site, maybe I will learn more about the sport. Which won’t be hard to do.

And in response to Dave’s questions about a roof over all of the fan seating at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park, the Rapids say it was never a consideration. They chose to build it like you see it because they wanted to show off Colorado’s weather.

Nice to see one of the former RMN’ers rising from the ashes. Best luck with the site. Hopefully your existing relationship with the Rapids FO gives you an “in” to report some material the News wouldn’t, the Post won’t, and the other local bloggers can’t.

I’ll be keeping an eye on ya.

This looks like it is going to be a great web site. I’ve bookmarked it, and I will come back often.

Here is a topic that you should address on this site: wouldn’t Dick’s Sporting Goods park be so much better if they built a roof covering all the seats? Just look at how great the Home Depot Center is in LA. The main difference between the two stadiums is that one has a roof, and the other one does not.

I’ve heard that constructing a roof over the seats would cost about 5 million dollars. Is that an accurate figure? Yes, of course, that’s a lot of money. But one could argue that a roof would pay for itself over the coming years by improving fan atmosphere, and thereby boosting attendance.

What are the chances that this will happen? Has the Colorado Rapids ownership ever considered building a roof over the seats?
