I recently lived in Colorado Springs for a year. One of the most frustrating things about living in "The Springs" was that the local paper had next to zero MLS coverage. Yeah, they'd have the occasional AP article about the Rapids (only an hour drive away) when they were at home. That was pretty much it. So, I was amused to read this in the Gazette.

OK, they did have a reporter at most of the local PDL teams home games and they did have someone cover the national team when they had a camp at the Air Force Academy so they weren’t as bad as the paper where I live now. Not a single MLS article (though the World Cup coverage was not bad) that I’ve seen even though I’m only an hour from Bridgeview.

Oh well, at least some progress is being made.
