In other, non-RBNY news, Commissioner Don Garber today confirmed the addition of the Montreal Impact as the league's 19th team in 2012. The club will play in a renovated, expanded Stade Saputo, in the shadow of Montreal's Olympic Stadium. Expansion into Quebec adds to the already great set of rivalries developing in the Eastern Conference.
If you've never been to Montreal before, it's a fantastic road trip. The city has great parks, mouth-watering artery-clogging chow and a dizzying array of finer entertainment establishments along rue St. Catherine. What's more, it's only about a six-hour drive from Manhattan and is a hell of a lot more attractive than DC. I have a feeling that Red Bulls fans will be making this away day trip in big numbers.
Félicitations aux Montréalais!
