I’ll argue it’s better for Chicago, not just the league. February/March weather sucks the energy out of what should be the exciting start of the season. Start strong in July, build momentum through the fall, and if the team is good, people will come out when it’s chilly for the playoff push.

It’s a little purposeful. “Don’t separate rivals” is fundamental to this, but when you stink, the shine on rivalries comes off. Also those two teams lost their “traditional” rivals (RBNY and Galaxy) to cross-city rivals.

Hallowed Ground probably rightly is Bethlehem Steel’s stadium.
BUT, for this kid growing up in Pittsburgh, Edinboro University and the annual PAWest Open tournament was it. One glorious weekend a year staying in the dorms with your team, a million fields, multiple games per day… it was the best.
