Reliable sources being what they are, we can now start making real plans for watching the team there come 2016, as per earlier estimates. Until then, they're set to play at Rio Tinto Stadium, as previously reported here.

As more information trickles down, we'll be sure it gets to you. Until then, let's just celebrate a little. Soccer is great, but more is better.

And hey, here's a rendering from the press release.
