A Soccer Message In The Mayoral Race?

Thanks to Nick Barbaro, here's a interesting clip from at the Austin Chronicle's Hustle For Mayor forum.



It comes around the 1:20 mark of the video. Candidates: Lee Leffingwell (on the left) and Brewster McCracken in the (middle).

Does that mean what I think it means? Fill us in that didn't quite track.

There were discussions in the Austin Aztex forum on Big Soccer on our thoughts on where to put a soccer stadium in the Austin area. And one poster thought that Highland Mall ,which the local businesses has been on the decline in years now, would be a good place for a soccer stadium. That comment took me and others by surprised by that. Very ironic.

That's what I thought. Pretty crazy if the concept hadn't come up before and the candidate mentioned it. Small victories, right?
