Just back in town (riding the light rail from BWI with the O's faithful was a treat) I had a lot to catch up on, so snagging inside sources was at the top of the agenda (after a stop at Boog's, of course.)
Here's what's happening on the Indy Race (according to a highly reliable but undisclosed source.) The helicopter survey of the proposed course delivered the necessary information to race organizers without revealing any surprises (or additional costs.) Report information is being finalized and an announcement will be made shortly. "We're 99% there" is what I was told.
Also high on the discussion list was the summer soccer match planned for M&T Bank Stadium. Reliable tout (different insider) put this likelihood in the 99 percentile, too. Announcement may come as soon as this week. I still can't give the names or date, but think Premiere and Serie-A -- after the Birds have flown for the month of July.
As for World Cup prospects, the FIFA folks are barnstorming the US in September. We understand they will be paying a visit to Maryland, but we don't know exactly when or what their itinerary will be. Terry is tuned into this one and will relay more as it comes down.
