After five year of being strung along, Major League Soccer
has again awarded another city a franchise. The winner yesterday was St. Louis and
their scheduled to kick off in a new downtown stadium is 2022. At this point,
Sacramento appears to be used as leverage against other cities also wanting a
franchise. There is steep price to join the league, in April the expansion fee
went up to $200 million which many have forced the Sacramento investors to
recalibrate?
From the beginning, I thought both our city leaders and media
were far too confident believing Sacramento was all but officially awarded a
new franchise. MLS still plans to expand another two team in the next few
years, but Las Vegas,
Indianapolis, Phoenix, Raleigh and San Diego are going do their best to emerge
as the best candidates too.
