PDL team...Semi-pro is probably a good description. PDL teams are mostly college players on the team during their NCAA off-season. <BR/><BR/><BR/>On the other hand, the games tend to be spirited, pretty well played, and fun. It doesn't hurt that the teams mostly play on fields and have smaller crowds closer to the game.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03680907624187896513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4047761831365934807.post-4011086999774215282008-02-15T09:29:00.000-06:002008-02-15T09:29:00.000-06:00I think it'll be fun to go see some Leones games, ...I think it'll be fun to go see some Leones games, as well as Dynamo reserve games this year. I just wonder about the quality. Between Dynamo Academy and all, this team will probably be little more than a semi-pro side I'm thinking. But I really have no idea as I know almost nothing about the PDL other than that Laredo won it last year. So hopefully it'll be pretty fun, even though that drive out to Richmond is something of a hike!Martin Hajovskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087389972723306522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4047761831365934807.post-26041450548030317222008-02-14T12:41:00.000-06:002008-02-14T12:41:00.000-06:00Actually, the plan is for Aztex U-23 to stick arou...Actually, the plan is for Aztex U-23 to stick around after the USL-1 team starts in '09. So, assuming everything works out, the Leones and the Aztex U-23 will be playing many games against each other.ERichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00578283790067334744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4047761831365934807.post-44777789844722468282008-02-14T11:49:00.000-06:002008-02-14T11:49:00.000-06:00I'm no longer a baseball fan but I have thoroughly...I'm no longer a baseball fan but I have thoroughly enjoyed minor league games. I saw a USL game in San Antonio before it folded- the team had been sold to an owner with no money who couldn't make payroll. I DEFINITELY wanna make some games if they're affordable enough to take all my crew (wife, 4kids). That's something I can't do with the Dynamo.playtherapyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15424558202507070100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4047761831365934807.post-72759302627201259532008-02-14T07:52:00.000-06:002008-02-14T07:52:00.000-06:00I'd recommend that you take in some games.

I live in walking distance of the field the BYU Cougars PDL team plays on and I love catching their games.<BR/><BR/>It's also been neat to see a couple of Cougars get picked up by RSL's reserve squad at various times during the season.<BR/><BR/>Watching the RSL @ BYU exhibition was also a blast, although Kreis never did heed the fans call to put in 'Pope Eddie the 23rd'.gnupatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10492341480170667775noreply@blogger.com
