Honestly, there wasn't a whole lot here that I didn't know about.
The big things moving forward will be selling the suites once their finished and getting a solid naming rights deal done.
Rob Clark has to have expectations on what those revenue streams will become. If the actual dollars flowing into the team's coffers from those revenue streams are a lot less than planned, then I would start getting concerned about how long Rob Clark will stick around and try and make the Rhinos work.
News & Notes:
- FC New York officiallyunveiled their plan to join the USL 1st Division next season. I love the "Slay the Bull" logo!

- I hope the US isn't wearing silver jerseys tonight. I never liked the gold ones the USWNT wore.
