It's been an interesting week AP readers. Rumors are swirling, leagues are changing, teams are moving. Depending on your perspective, this is either really exciting or incredibly depressing. Either way, there is still lots to discover in lower level American Soccer. In October of last year, I interviewed Jonathan Wardlaw as Little Rock Rangers were gearing up for their first season. You can read that interview here. Online there was a lot of resistance to the idea of a team in Arkansas, but Rangers proved them wrong, averaging 3,000 fans a game and almost making the playoffs. To preface, in the pictures below, the stadium will actually look fairly empty, since it's the home of Arkansas College Football. But the interesting thing to note is that each section of seating holds 1,800 people. Put that into perspective, and it's really an exciting thing to see how those could be completely full next season. Keep an eye on Little Rock, big things are coming. Check it out.

It's the most wonderful time of the year AP readers! This is the time of year when several teams that I interviewed in the spring have wrapped up their first full seasons. And at least two of them have done second interviews that will be coming out in the next two weeks. This is the first of those two. This one is with Dan Hoedeman of Minneapolis City SC. Check it out.  "We felt compelled to come together to formulate a model that was going to make it easier for clubs to participate at very high levels but without having to spend unnecessarily."

A good, cold morning greeting to you, AP readers! The temperature has plunged here in KC, but soccer keeps rolling along. Speaking of KC, still not sure how the Swope Park Rangers got past the Orange County Blues in the USL playoffs being down two players for over thirty minutes. Anyway, today's interview is about a brand new league launching in Minnesota this coming spring. They have a unique take on how a league should function, and are thinking about to improve the soccer experience for teams on the state level, not just the regional or national level. Check it out.

Hello AP readers! It's playoff time in the USL and the NASL race grows tighter by the week. But we're here to talk about something different.
