Plans for "NEW" Silverdome leaked

Thursday, 06 October 2011 21:18 administrator

It has been some time since we had news to share like this and it was worth the wait. We have been leaked some of the renderings of the proposed stadium design for the Silverdome as a "Soccer Specific Stadium."

The drawings show an overhanging roof with with an opening for sunlight which will hopefully be for a grass pitch. There is also an interesting twist to the stadium design. There is no stage on the main level to be used for additional income or take up valuable end line seat space, ala Crew Stadium. What is seen here is a second level UNDERNEATH the main level! There will be a concert/event hall and what appears to be an additional smaller boarded arena. This is incredibly exciting to see that they are this far along with design and planning. Who knows how close they are to getting a team or what discussions have been had. The questions becomes without a dome over it anymore do you still call it the Silverdome or will a high profile corporate sponsor buy the naming rights?

"Rise and Shine: The Jay DeMerit Story"

Saturday, 29 October 2011 15:24 Tavio Palazzolo

It's the story of how one young man moved to Europe with only a dream: the dream of playing big-time football (and I don't mean the kind played in Green Bay, where he grew up). This is the story of Jay DeMerit, who went from trial to trial in England, eventually latched on to Watford, and worked his way onto the 2010 US World Cup team. He is now the captain of the Vancouver Whitecaps.

His story has been filmed and is on limited release, and will be shown at two Emagine theaters in the Detroit area. The Motor City Supporters are working with both the promoters and the theater to cover the town and promote the showing to the soccer-loving public in the area. The movie is being shown on Thursday, November 3, at 8:00 PM in both Canton and Rochester Hills.

"I'm a lady" shirt debut

Wednesday, 12 October 2011 13:22 administrator

Last night at halftime during the USA vs Ecuador game at the Claddagh the ladies of MCS unveiled a project that they had been working on in secret for months now. They have created a unique and rather interesting shirt design. It is a pair of beer mugs with Stiletto heels for the handles on the front and "I'm a lady" on the back. It is in MCS colors of course, blue with orange and white highlights. Click on the thumbnails for the full size pictures.
