BUILDING THE PYRAMID This first part of their academy series quickly mentions "With MLS extending the Timbers territory to cover Idaho, that provides the Academy its next challenge for branding, scouting, training and recruiting."

A couple of us in Idaho have been excited about and frothing at the mouth for an opportunity to see the Timbers in Boise (a local basque group was organizing a friendly between a team from the Basque area in the Liga to play against a NW MLS team; we were hoping it would be the Timbers.)

But this statement of Idaho being Timbers territory is much more exciting. Last I read or could find online about our territory was back in 2013: Academies favor big market teams? where they mention that our territory was: The state of Oregon and Vancouver, Wash., and its environs.

Could you reporter types rustle up some amazing news for us in Idaho please?
