Comments on: MLS Expansion: Seriously More Canada? http://wvhooligan.com/2008/07/24/mls-expansion-seriously-more-canada/ A look at Major League Soccer (MLS) through the eyes of a MLS writer and fan. Mon, 22 Mar 2010 14:49:32 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: ros http://wvhooligan.com/2008/07/24/mls-expansion-seriously-more-canada/comment-page-1/#comment-11648 ros Fri, 25 Jul 2008 07:13:43 +0000 http://wvhooligan.com/?p=1351#comment-11648 Montreal for sure. You would have TFC style support. The rivalry would be the biggest in the MLS. Ottawa would have solid ownership but I don't know if the area is ready for the MLS. Vancouver just needs to get it's waterfront stadium approved by the city. Solid football support and tradition. They had some of the biggest crowds in the NASL days. 60k sellouts even. Edmonton should be looked at. Been to 3 games there in the last 2 years all with crowds of 30k-45k. Can't say much about the American markets cause I don't get to visit them often. Seattle will be great and I think Portland has a solid base. Too bad Miami doesn't have a proper stadium. Kansas City should be moved to a city that will love them. New stadiums have to be in urban centres. No more new stadiums in the suburbs. Stop chasing the family dollar and feed your hardcore urban base. Team in NYC for sure. I predict NYC and Montreal but will most likely be St Louis and Montreal. Montreal for sure. You would have TFC style support. The rivalry would be the biggest in the MLS.

Because we want a franchise to do better than it currently is with it's league-worst fan support? I am truly sorry for KC supporters, because the Cauldron is obviously full of passionate fans. However, I am pretty sure there aren't too many others. Why? Because we want a franchise to do better than it currently is with it’s league-worst fan support?

KC needs to go to St. Louis. I'm sure all 5 of the die hard KC fans will get over it. While we're at it, let's move the crew to Milwaukee or even Detroit. I wish the league would group teams together geographically. At least in groups of 3 or 4. That would make away matches easier to attend. Instead, we're looking at possibly another team in New York. Although it wouldn't really be another team, since Red Bull is New Jersey. That's brilliant, so split Red Bulls attendance and you get 4500 fans per team. I have to agree with Kevin.

It would make much more sense for them to move financially. I'm sorry for any diehard KC fans, but I'd rather see your team elsewhere, even St. Louis, for that matter.
