A Few Random Notes and Updates

As the club enters the home stretch towards the MLS Cup Playoffs, the "project" end is put on the backburner a bit. All the focus is on the sucess of the team.

But the ironic thing is that the sucess of the team is one of the most important parts of the project.

Here's a few updates since I last left...

- Red Bull Park's Website is innactive. This is probably due to Red Bull's buyout of AEG, as the site looked to be primarily run by AEG itself. The webcam no longer updates, and I emailed the contact on the website for questions awhile ago and never got a response. In the future at a high publicity time like the playoffs or MLS Cup for Marc De Grandpre and the rest to release a new timeline of sorts and maybe throw up a new, Red Bull only, website.

- Before the site went practically dead, the stadium finally started to be making some good solid progress everyday with a noticable increase in workrate.

- Although the club has yet to win any silverwear in it's history, one way to continue to add to the prestige as they get closer and closer to bringing home the MLS Cup is to take home some individual awards for the Red Bull trophy cabinate. As they head down the stretch, Juan Pablo Angel is considered one of the favorites for the MVP, Golden Boot, and Newcomer of the Year award. Not to mention he already took home All-Star Game MVP. Dane Richards is also in the race for Rookie of the Year.

- The news of the week was that Amado Guevara wants back in to the club that he once called home, but not until the 2008 season. With the increased cap space and Red Bull's desire to make some big moves with the space, look for Guevara to be a "Plan D". With a whole offseasn and boatload of cash, Red Bull should be able to come up with some better punch than an aging Amado Guevara.
