<![CDATA[The Only Day of the Year]]>This may be the ONLY day of the year that other sports take overall preference over the NFL.

The NCAA championship game is on tonight.

And this is opening day for the Cleveland Indians.

Is there any other day of the year where there is a convergence of non football important sporting events?

Perhaps LeBron could bring an MLS team to another venue....in Akron:

A renovated Rubber Bowl. But these guys are talking about a dome which would likely mean artificial turf and indoors. Not sure if that is what MLS wants.

For those of you in the know....are any MLS teams playing in a dome, or on turf?

No dome teams not sure about the playing surface

Me too,

but I would rather see Cleveland get an NHL team, and move the Cavs somewhere else

How about just all of them NBA/NFL/MLB/NHL/MLS?

And you know, there is another guy that could become the owner of a future Cleveland MLS team.....a current minority owner of a Premier League team: (Liverpool I believe)

LeBron James. He and his group I suspect could be welcomed by the MLS. He might want to put the team in Akron if that happens....and I know a perfect place for them to build a stadium.....if anyone is interested. The former Rolling Acres Mall site. Plenty of acreage for development.

Yes, been trying to sell for about a year now. Word is that he has a deal lined up for the summer.

I have been expecting him to buy into the MLS after he sold the Browns....but no word on that yet. Maybe once he sells Aston Villa he will look seriously in that direction. Hopefully, as the MLS has expansion plans that don't really include Cleveland.

The MLS expanded by 2 teams this year: another NYC team and Orlando. Also, future expansion will take place in Atlanta in 2017, another LA team in 2018, and Minnesota in 2018. Also under consideration are to put teams in Miami, Las Vegas, Sacramento, San Antonio/Austin, and St. Louis.

Cleveland had been talked about but that was about a decade ago, and the guy that was to be the owner, Bert Wolstein, died. So maybe Lerner can step into the breach here.

Arthur Blank, owner of the Atlanta Falcons is the proposed owner of the ATL MLS team.

A group headed by David Beckham is the proposed owner for a Miami team.

A guy name Peter Gruber is heading up the new LA team proposed ownership group.

A guy named Bill McGuire will be the Minnesota team owner.

The owner of the Sacramento Kings, Vivek Ranadive is proposed owner of a Sacramento team.

A guy name Gordon Hartman is the proposed owner of a SA/Austin team.

And I understand that Cavs owner Dan Gilbert has some interest in bringing an MLS team to the Detroit area and playing in the old Pontiac Silverdome.

The question was whether or not you could think of two important sporting events that happen on the same day (that are not football....football that is, not futbol...but futbol could be one of them.)

Maybe like this:

We can all set up a team not to lose and buy three £30m attacking players and hope they win the game for you

Let's wait until the summer, see who he brings in, wait til next year, see what style of football he plays. if this is his "we just need to get points we'll worry about style later" approach to just the next month, then great. If this is plan A, B & C (as it seemed to be at spurs) then less great.

I'm suspecting the latter. I'm also quietly confident of a win this weekend.

We are so poor at the moment, the young lads like Kane, Mason and Bentaleb need a rest but those borught in, dont perform.

We're on the beach already.
