Pro Soccer in AZ

Ran across this ...
==============

Just asking if you are interested in joining a mailing list for a potential franchise in Phoenix?

If so please email to monsoonsoccer AT yahoo DOT com with a comment and the number of potential season tickets you would be interested in and I will log your email address to keep you informed of any news over the next several weeks. Unlike with Pachuca and that attempt, this effort is being done in a much quieter manner. However, I would like to present the league with a formal listing of potential supporters.

Expect a Phoenix area home field and a ticket price of $10 for a reserved seat. At this time, no major Mexican club is affiliated with us and no such ownership proposal is being considered.

I am not asking for any deposits or money at this time, strictly looking to complete a proposal with comments regarding excitement for a Phoenix area franchise.

Best regards

Stuart Starky

Some MLS clubs will be spending time in the Valley this preseason.

Real Salt Lake, the MLS Cup champions, will be at the Casa Grande Performance Institute at the Francisco Grande from Feb. 13-27.

The Chicago Fire will be at Sun Devil Stadium on the campus of Arizona State University from Feb. 5-18. The Fire will practice twice daily as they prepare for their first exhibition match of the preseason against USSF Division 2's Vancouver Whitecaps on Feb. 15, at 2:00 pm MST at Arizona State Soccer Stadium.

The Chicago/Vancouver match is on a Monday(Feb 15) at 2pm. My suspicion is that you will be able to walk up and get a decent seat.

But if you want to check further, I would call the box office at Sun Devil.

Add Seattle in Casa Grande Feb 3-10 and Kansas City to clubs that will spend time in AZ this preseason.

Saw a tweet that said Seattle will play Vancouver on Feb 11. No further details.
