St. John’s County, Florida (Jacksonville/St. Augustine area) may be getting a professional USL team next week (either USL 1 or USL Championship). For those who live in the area or travel there, will you attend games or have an interest in the team? Curious what northern Floridians think of this and how successful do you think it will be? More details should come next week.

Sorry Buzz, but it’s a pass for me. On the rare occasions I do go to professional sporting events, I’ll stick with the Jumbo Shrimp and the Icemen.

No worries. Thanks for the honest response. Would you say soccer is popular in the area though?

There was a team called the Armada—I’m not sure what happened to them. Youth soccer seems pretty popular. I think the local NFL team owner also owns an English soccer team.

I heard about the Armada. They downgraded to a U-23 development squad in the NPSL.

USL is a level above, so the new team should attract more talented players.

To be more specific, USL Championship is the second division in the USA soccer pyramid. The baseball equivalent is AAA minor league baseball.
