Dating back to 1914, the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup is the oldest cup competition in United States soccer and is among the oldest in the world. Open to all affiliated amateur and professional teams in the United States, the annual U.S. Open Cup is entering it’s 95th tournament in 2008.

In a nutshell, the U.S. Open Cup is very similar to domestic cup competitions popular throughout Europe, South America and the rest of the world. Cup competitions, which usually run concurrent with a country’s league season, are open in the early stages to any club that can qualify, giving local amateur teams a chance to compete against the best teams a country has to offer.

Sometimes chance encounters amount to something wonderful.  Such is the case with the story behind the website for Major Leagues Soccer's 16th franchise which begins play in 2010.  If you happen to have time, ask one of the partners how this site came about.  You'll enjoy it, trust us.

When the site was conceived it was originally modeled after other sports websites. However, after carful consideration of the needs of the client and keen awareness of the long lead time before the team actually played a game, we change gears and built a very robust site built on the ExpressionEngine CMS Platform.  The site has minimal flash but instead focuses on the stories and news generated by the dedicated staff and writers of the site.

Just like a sports team, the site will change over time and eventually will morph into the full sports portal that it needs to be.  With careful consideration of the future, we designed the site to scale accordingly and anticipate this to be a very popular destination for the fans of the franchise.
