Message: [QUOTE="DarthGrumpy, post: 3209717, member: 2141"] MLS teams in a NFL team should be the very rare exception (Seattle maybe Atlanta [need to see the long-term figures before being sold]) not the norm. Stadiums of between 20K and 30K in an urban location with easy access to mass transit seems or at least highways seems to be the winning mix. Of course, building a successful MLS franchise today seems to be less about doing whats best for the team, its fans, and soccer in general and more about owner's ego (see Charlotte, which isn't even the best market in its own state for soccer (Raleigh/Durham has a deeper soccer culture) along with the expansion fees for current MLS owners.
