MLS Expansion--Where Next?

SoccerPrime · 02-23-2005, 12:37 PM

Is this thread about who we WANT to be the next MLS expansion teams or who we think PROBABLY will be?

I mean, if we are just saying things based on pipedreams, then I think the Orlando MLS investment group, with me as head, should get one. 🙄

I think they already tried that. It was called Euro-Disney and it failed miserably.

Really? I missed that (right over my head...) 😕

I'm wondering if MLS is testing such markets as Houston, Austin and Birmingham by hosting exhibition matches there. They pulled an exhibition match out of Las Vegas after they realized that it is in the pit of ecological purgatory. Could you imagine playing outdoors during August in 115 degrees of heat?
As for Birmingham and Austin; both are hip college towns and we all know smart people love soccer. (Another reason it would fail in Las Vegas)

My money is on Toronto, no doubt. :D
