Tons of people here in St. Louis would show up to see games; heck, even if only kids select soccer teams go there'd be plenty. the only downside is that stadium is out in Illinois, which is a decently long drive from most of the population of the city St. Louis definitely deserves a team, and i wouldn’t worry too much about the team being supported.

The only good midwest team that pulls in fans and a good team is the Fire. So why add another struggling team!? I am definitely for a Montreal team due to the large turnout and new rivalry it can create. I'm not opposed to another New York team as long as its in the city. Plus you might want to change the name of the Red Bulls to the New Jersey Red Bulls, just a thought. Why is Phoenix a bad idea? They have a large population with a huge market. Not only that but a large Hispanic population. Just a thought. I would say the same for Miami but they had their chance. Note the 18th team should even out the conferences unless the league decides to go to ONE table with no conferences. I hope they do!

AND...I want to see Vegas build that $500 million stadium and steal the team from LA. Viva Chiva Las Vegas!!! The LA rivalry would live on, plus the footprint would expand...and who doesn't want to take a road trip to Vegas baby.

Believe me if they get a team in New York (actually in the city somewhere and not Jersey), you will see actual New Yorkers turn out for soccer. As for Phoenix and Vegas, they both have legitimate groups that have been wanting a team in their cities for the past two years. Though neither one will ever get one I think. The Vegas group actually wanted to build a stadium with a retractable-roof that was connected to a casino. Yeah, can't make up stuff that good.

I would hate to see a team in Miami or New York; Miami had their shot, New York HAS a team. I wouldn't mind Montreal too much, or Vancouver for that matter, but I pretty much choked on my food, then almost died laughing when I saw Phoenix and Vegas.
