Under regular season section, would it better to use appearances rather than caps to categorize the number of games played. As far as I'm aware, a cap denotes an international game played. Traditionally, international soccer teams (like England) awards its players a cap for every international game played
The History section is choppy and doesn't even start with the creation of the team. There's no mention of Dave Checkett's announcement of the team or anything. The article in general is outdated and needs work. I'll try to give it a few minutes in the near future. WXAggie ( talk) 21:00, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

Truth is we wish we could change it (the fans in Salt lake) but we're stuck with it. Also, the reason Chivas USA is a big rival? cause all the friggin illegals here support it!!! go to any real/chivas game and you can tell who's on what side. Chivas fans are brown, real fans are white. it's that simple.

Governor Huntsman jumped in to "save" the team? I don't think this is how it happened at all. There were a number of offers, just none that Checketts was persuaded to like. I think Huntsman lobbied harder than private enterprise, and with Mayor Rocky Anderson, put together a "plan" that would ensure they could maintain control over the stadium - keeping it in Salt Lake County. I think the language here is a little too glowing of Huntsman Jr.'s involvement as team savior and should perhaps be modified. Thoughts? Nhansen 03:18, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

What player is the captain of Real Salt Lake?
Currently Eddie Pope, but that will change as he's retiring after this season. Skrymsli 00:44, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
Maybe some mention of the fact that it makes the news when RSL scores a goal, let alone wins a game, because RSL actually scoring is such an unusual occurrence. I don't see anything on RSL's win/loss record, etc. here.
Tejada is listed as "in" for the 2007 season, but he has been released according to this. How do you handle it when someone is acquired and released in the same season? In and out?
What about Jafet Soto would make him a noteable player for Real Salt Lake? Prk166 02:33, 24 July 2007 (UTC)prk166

A lot of this material, particularly about the finacial politics behind building the stadium, really belongs in the article on Rio Tinto Stadium, as it's about the stadium, not the team. While they are definitely linked, it's just too much detail for this article. It's not like Rio Tinto doesn't have it's own article where this is more appropriate. In short, the section needs to be trimmed and summarized better, per WP:SUMMARY. oknazevad ( talk) 06:09, 16 March 2011 (UTC)
I started an article History of Real Salt Lake for the season=by-season recaps. We should summarize this material and leave the detailed history for the new page. I would suggest one paragraph with info about getting the expansion team, playing at Rice-Eccles, getting better and making the play-offs, winning the Cup, and then the CONCACAF heartache.

There was a discussion about the new roster format and we have had a trial at both the Timbers and Whitecaps articles and recently Cascadia Cup rival Sounders have converted. The idea is to move all club articles on Wikipedia to the new format as is discussed in the original discussion and more recently at the football project.
My suggestion is to complete the MLS team articles first, so if you could respond at this discussion, that would be ideal. In short, the new layout is slightly taller and less wide, but it correctly impliments WP:MOSFLAG and is better for visually impared users of Wikipedia and others who use readers. I plan to implement the change to this article by the weekend of January 20-22, however other editors could make the change sooner. -- Walter Görlitz ( talk) 17:53, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
I've tagged this article as being confusing and requiring cleanup, it abounds with obvious errors that make no sense. For example: On October 16, 2010 Real Salt Lake improved their home unbeaten streak to 25 games in a row after beating the FC Dallas 2–0. This win gave Real Salt Lake the most consecutive home games without a loss in MLS history.[8][9] This streak was ended at 29 games on May 28, 2010, with their loss to the Seattle Sounders FC. According to this, RSL improved their unbeaten streak in Oct. 2010, but then the streak ended prior to that in May 2010??? This is just one example of many inconsistencies in the article, I'm afraid a 12-13 year old fan wrote most of the content in this article and it shows. - War wizard90 ( talk) 05:50, 2 July 2015 (UTC)
Hello, I noticed there were a few edits, in the history page of Real Salt Lake that were unnecessary. I myself put time to place the team's history contents in the history section which barely had anything before. No one else was interested in doing so at that time. To me Jason Kreis was the one that had made the Team relevant and a playoff contender/Dark horse they have been over the years. Their motto "the team is the star" was from him as well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bluhaze777 ( talk • contribs) 14:31, 24 September 2015 (UTC)
First and most, the minor headings for the 2009 MLS cup and the CCL run is fine. Rio Tinto stadium was necessary for RSL to established foundation in Sandy, Utah. However there already is content of the process of getting a stadium in the team's history. I'm ok with Lagerway and Lewis era along with having enough content about Lagerway for the article to be able to show his contributions as well. I think their achievements weighs more than their stadium. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bluhaze777 ( talk • contribs) 16:32, 24 September 2015 (UTC)
Well Jason Kreis was the team's third head coach with a Tenure of 2007 - 2013. That is not a couple or 3 years. I don't know if Garth Leagerway was the first General Manager but Jason Kreis was there for 6 years and did a lot. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bluhaze777 ( talk • contribs) 17:22, 24 September 2015 (UTC)
Jason Kreis did contribute a lot to the team. That's why I originally believed that The Heading Jason Kreis Era was good when I did that last year. Bluhaze777 ( talk) 23:31, 25 September 2015 (UTC)
I didn't like the existing section — it focuses on the opponent and includes too many details that most readers don't care about. I created a summary table that focuses on RSL's performance and how far in the tournament they reached. I don't think we need two tables in this section, so I propose we retain the table that summarizes RSL's performance and remove the table with detailed results by opponent. Thoughts?
