Soccer in Philly/Chester: It's going to happen!
Well, would you look at that? 20,000+ all-seater, right on the waterfront and next door to the Commodore Barry. Beautiful!
All we need now is a club to play in it! But from what I heard in Media yesterday, this appears to be a mere formality.

David Beckham .. Played for 21 Minutes
I was seriously considering driving down to DC just to tailgate with the other Sons of Ben. But alas, I had other committments.
Nice to see the United fans "welcoming" the Missus though.

I don't know how to put this but I'm kind of a big deal.
For the six people that have already e-mailed me asking that if the "Chris Harris, 33, of Barrington N.J." that was quoted on page A16 of today's (Friday, July 20) Philadelphia Inquirer, is me; yes it is. How many other people named Chris Harris do you know anyway?
I went to the Sons of Ben MLS All-Star Game viewing party last night, and some guy from the Inquirer asked me a few questions about a possible expansion team, and a soccer-specific stadium on the waterfront in Chester.
It was a front-page story, but my quote is after the jump.
Please be aware that this quote was said under the influence if two pints of Newcastle Brown Ale.

"I've been waiting for almost 10 years for a professional soccer team to come here," said Chris Harris, 33, of Barrington N.J. "It would be nice if it (a soccer-specific stadium) would be in the city. But if that (Chester) is the only place they can build a first-class stadium, then it would be OK."
