My pre-trip thoughts

It's finally here! I couldn't be more excited to hit the road with my sister this weekend. We are setting course and heading for Indianapolis, Indiana.

This will be a great trip as my sister and I haven't been able to spend a ton of time together recently. She has been traveling across country with work, and I have been busy myself between balancing my work schedules.

Alas! The time has come for our trip. I want to thank everyone for the suggestions of where to go. I have an agenda in place and I cannot wait to share it with you all.

The main attraction of my trip is a match that will feature Indy Eleven against the Jacksonville Armada. Indy has intrigued me because of the talk that has surrounded them in regards to MLS expansion. In my research of the NASL (North American Soccer League) club, they have tremendous funding and an ownership group that seems willing to take the next step with them.

With soccer growing in the Midwest as well as nationwide, it seems like the perfect time for Indy Eleven to capitalize on the growth of the game. With teams like Detroit City and FC Cincinatti expanding in the region; I'm curious to see how Indy Eleven is growing and plans to continue to be sustainable.

I'm looking forward to taking this journey with you and having a blast.
