I'll be traveling next week, so posting will be light to nonexistent unless there's major news. For minor news, gossip, and the usual kibitzing, please treat the comment section of this post as your open thread for the week.

I'm traveling from now until July 4, so posting will be light to nonexistent during that time. If anything important happens in the interim — the Vikings proposing to pay for a new stadium by holding the world's largest bake sale, say — feel free to talk about it yourselves in comments, and I'll chime in on my return.

I'm off to Chicago for a week of actual vacation, though I probably won't be able to resist sneaking a peek at the site of the proposed collapsible Olympic Stadium ("located just three kilometers from the grave of Jesse Owens"!). I'll be back on duty here on July 6.
In the meantime, the fieldofschemes.com reins will be ably handled by guest correspondent Bob Trumpbour, of "New Cathedrals" fame, along with regular correspondent David Dyte. Please treat them as you would me ... actually, on second thought, maybe try to be a bit nicer.

I'm very pleased to report that fieldofschemes.com is now indexed by category, at least back through the start of 2009. To see all the recent news about, say, D.C. United, just click on the link at the bottom of the entry.
If anyone notices any bugs, please drop me a line. In the meantime, I'll be adding category tags for 2008...

As you may have noticed, this site has undergone a minor redesign as of today, one intended to be cleaner and better-organized than the junk drawer that had accumulated here over the years. If you notice anything important that's gone missing, or otherwise isn't working properly, please drop me a line.
There are also some more substantive improvements: We've begun adding regular correspondents (and plan on adding more) to help cover the wide world of sports subsidies, and, with any luck, will soon offer the long-awaited ability to search by categories, among other things. Over coming weeks, expect to see this site continue its transition from an accompaniment to the book Field of Schemes - don't forget to check out the book if you haven't already - into a full-fledged independent news site covering stadium and arena deals.
Finally, if you'd like to support the work being done here, or just have a product you'd like to let our readers know about, please consider taking out a text or display ad. We reserve the right to reject ads that are fraudulent or egregiously offensive, but otherwise, anything is fair game.
