Unprofessional Foul: UF Quick Throw: MLS Expansion

Wednesday, March 11, 2009

We have received word from an unnamed source that the next two MLS teams are Portland and Vancouver. Official word to come next week. Stay tuned!

Spectator said...: St. Louis really was too little too late with the announcement that Anheuser Busch was going to get behind the team. I'd imagine they get a team in the next go around though.; March 11, 2009 at 10:27 PM
Jason Davis said...: I'm not even sure what that A-B announcement means, other than that there's an alternate stadium plan now. But why did St. Louis need another stadium? Wasn't that the strength of the bid in the first place?; March 11, 2009 at 10:29 PM
jjf3 said...: I didn't even realize that A-B had gotten involved...; March 11, 2009 at 10:30 PM
Spectator said...: Basically A-B said that the MLS team could use an existing facility outside the city. Would be much cheaper than building a brand new stadium from scratch.; March 11, 2009 at 10:33 PM
Magnakai Haaskivi said...: I wonder if the unnamed source's name rhymes with Beremy Aint Jewess...; March 11, 2009 at 10:41 PM
Spectator said...: Yes it might.... Some of the UF contingent thought he might get in trouble, even though the info is publicly available. They've been good to us this week so we figured better safe than sorry (I mean "sooory).; March 11, 2009 at 10:48 PM
