I gotta say... As much of a racing fan I am, It's still pretty cool to be a part of bringing soccer to Austin. We've already started selling season tickets and the announcement was only an hour ago!

If you want tickets, give me a call at 512-655-6353#GoBold #AustinBoldFC pic.twitter.com/CTCzm7li51
