And this is why I don't have season teckits anymore. The front office is so inconsistent and buffoonish at times that it really bothers me. How many times did I have somebody sitting next to me that got in free and griped the whole game? Every game. That's how often. Now they pull a stunt like this to appease the Jazz? Would the Jazz do something to help out another team? No chance. This just further affirms that RSL is always going to be little brother in this town. Screw the Jazz, and screw the NBA. MLS needs to start calling the shots and stop making themselves second class citizens. It just ends up screwing their loyal fan base.

This is incredibly stpuid. Switching a game time for a professional game only 5 days before is ridiculous. I agree with all of the previous comments, except Cristina's. Cristina, So What . I will tell you what. Most people have responsibilities and have plans more than a week in advance and it is not so easy to change everything around to accomodate a new start time. I wonder how many people are going to show up at 7 and never want to come to a game again?I also wonder how many fans that have kids playing games that day will now have to miss the game. I have had season tickets for the past 5 years and if they pull moves like this again I will probably not want to get tickets anymore. Poor form RSL. Poor form.
