MLS Expansion

Some quick links to keep you all updated on everything that is Major League Soccer Expansion. With the league getting closer to adding its 17th and 18th clubs to go along with expansion sites like Seattle and Philadelphia, this page should be a quick guide to keep you all informed on how each potential city is doing in their expansion efforts.

I will try to update this page as much as possible. If you have any suggestions to make this guide better feel free to drop me an email.
