via John Wagner and Laurence Simon, I see that the San Jose Earthquakes have decided to come to Hurricane country:
The San Jose Earthquakes will relocate immediately to Houston, Major League Soccer Commissioner Don Garber said Thursday.
Garber said the team’s owners, Anschutz Entertainment Group, were attracted by the chance to play in their own stadium and for an ethnically diverse population willing to support a professional soccer team.
“We’ve always believed that the city has great potential to be a soccer market,” Garber said. “We’re excited about what our opportunities are there.”
Uh oh. Their own stadium. How much did Mayor White and Oliver Luck promise? How long will it take our local media to find out?
For now, the team will play at UH’s Robertson Stadium.
