Yeah I've been following, we'll see how it goes. I think it's great for the city, there seems to be some real energy about it with the fans. I agree in general about Austin people as fans, but they (I guess I'm not saying "we" anymore since I live in Dallas now) have never had a professional team to actually be apart of. The Austin area has exploded as far as soccer interest, always one of the top cities for viewing of the World Cup.

Everyone thought the MLS in Atlanta was a terrible idea, and look at them. Easily the best atmosphere and biggest crowds ever for soccer in the United States (not to mention winning). Not saying Austin will be like that, because it won't, but I could easily see Austin FC having a strong following like a similar city in Portland. And I think it will easily outgrow what Dallas FC is.

I don't care for the logo and everything. The green is fine because there aren't many MLS teams with green, but the tree and everything else that has been created just doesn't scream legit football club to me. I half jokingly wanted the team to be called Austin Villa (as in Aston Villa in England). I'm in full support however, I think it's great for Austin and if it can be even close to what Portland has grown in to...then it'd be a huge success for the MLS and United States in general. These songs however, yikes:
