I always thought Mueller would have been a good place. It's probably a long-shot, but I think a top notch soccer stadium for the Aztex, as well as other soccer matches would be sweet built as a focal point in an urban section of Mueller. Imagine VMU surrounding the stadium with ground-floor restaurants and pubs. Streetcar/Lightrail for easy access from other parts of town. I know I'm dreaming, but that would be awesome!

There was a story in the Austin Chronicle about the possibility of Highland Mall being a location when it's redeveloped.

Then there's a link to an organization dedicated to getting a soccer-specific stadium built in Central Austin.

This is an example of the size of stadium they're proposing. This one seats 13,500. Just for comparison's sake, U.T.'s football stadium seats nearly 100,000.
