I get that MLS wants urban stadiums, and I actually agree. It works wonderfully in Portland, Seattle, etc. Oakley is in the city, but that's it. It isn't urban. There's very little public transit, biking to the site is less-than-ideal, there's little population density nearby, and there are no parking facilities. I'm not a fan of the suburban locations like in Dallas, Chicago, and Colorado - you lose the energy that you get in the other locales - but at least you can build your own roads, parking, etc to suit the number of fans that will be coming in. Plus, Rhinegeist > Madtree

I prefer MadTree personally. Rhinegeist makes too many IPAs, APAs, etc. which have no appeal to a guy that doesn't usually care for hoppy beers. MadTree seems to have a better variety. Now that I think of it, I might grab a growler of their paw paw beer this afternoon...
