Motor City Supporters

It's time to lace up and get out! This Sunday, March 14, we're back at High Velocity Sports in Canton for some pick-up indoor soccer. Kickoff is at 6:00 PM, so tell the front desk you're with the Motor City Supporters, pay the $6 to get in, get your wristband, and get playing!

The Pontiac Silverdome is back open for business in May, and - as promised - it will be for a soccer event! As reported by the Detroit Free Press, the inaugural Green Soccer Bowl will take place on May 20 and 21 and involve four national teams in an international friendly. World Cup-bound Ghana is scheduled to take part, as well as Kenya, Malaysia, and Puerto Rico. It is the brainchild of Pius Oleh, a former defender for Nigeria's senior national team. The owners of the Silverdome, Triple Sports & Entertainment (which, if you remember, we have been in contact with), have released a statement regarding this tournament:

"We are pleased and excited by the selection of the Silverdome as the site for the 2010 Green Soccer Bowl. We look forward to hosting a friendly competition between world-class athletes as the Silverdome has done so many times in the past. In the coming months, we will be talking more about our plans for the Silverdome and its operation as a sports and entertainment venue."

So, what do you think about the idea? Are you excited about world-class soccer coming back to Detroit once again? Do you think it might be a waste of an effort? Tell us about it! In the meantime, stay tuned here to the Motor City Supporters website as more information comes out about the event, or go to their official website, GreenSoccerBowl.com.
