I think that after they get 30 teams with San Diego FC, we get 2 more to make it 32. I think the last 2 should be Las Vegas NV, which would play at Allegiant Stadium, and Bridgeport CT, which would play at that new stadium being built on the river across from Downtown Bridgeport. The team that will be there is an MLS Next Pro team, known as Connecticut United FC. I think this club would join MLS should they get 2 more teams, and even if they don't, it should at least get an NWSL team in my opinion.
Holy crap you finally made a MLS video. Lets go. I wouldn't mind if you made a current MLS stadium ranking video. There is some really nice stadiums in this league.
Re NYCFC: they're owned by rich Mideast based owners (City Football Group which also owns Manchester City and other teams around the globe), so they have the cash to make this project work. Also, I would expect this stadium to be called Etihad Park, as this UAE based airline is a major sponsor of NYCFC just as it is with ManCity
7:14 it’s actually really cool to me that my picture of CityPark that I uploaded to Wikipedia is now being shown on screen from one of my favorite TH-camrs!
Chicago, Dallas, Colorado and New England all need new stadiums, atleast NYCFC fix their situation and Miami is too. MLS would be perfect ones those I listed also fixed their embarrassing situations
Kraft owns the Revs, he has no desire to build a stadium elsewhere. It's a shame cause a downtown Boston venue of 25K would be amazing for the club. Chicago, Colorado, Dallas, all suffer from MLS's earl 2000s mindset of "build it anywhere you can for cheap". While MLS has outgrown that mindset, those teams you mentioned aren't a high priority in local politics to get anything new for the forseeable future.
@@Cirris The thing is, in the past Kraft was actually looking at sites closer to Boston to build a soccer-specific stadium, it just never came to fruition.
In Chicago, the Bears are in the process of working out a new stadium that they will own instead of renting to play in something that's owned by the Chicago Park District. That's still up in the air, but the Fire will probably become the primary tenants of Soldier Field and then they'll probably do something with it in order to right-size it and make it more like a soccer specific stadium. That still doesn't solve the problem of lack of public transit to the stadium though.
The thing is they would have to take out so many seats in that stadium because no offense the team doesn't draw well. I don't know whether thats due to poor stadium location or the fact that the owners won't invest in the team but I've always found that unfortunate.
Considering there's about 332M Americans, I'm curious where you got that number. That's a percentage of almost 70%, which as an American soccer fan, I highly doubt. 70% of Americans don't even watch American football, and that's the highest grossing sport in the country.
Don't worry, the price for each ticket will just go up, like it did yesterday over 400% when the news broke. MLS is already working to move some Inter Miami games to Hard Rock and bigger (NFL) stadiums when they go on the road. One thing to remember, is that Messi is only going to play for another 2 - 5 years. That being said, I do agree that all these new MLS stadiums being built should have been constructed with higher capacity or the ability to expand. MLS has always tried to cookie cut the Premier League, but why pigeon hole yourself with smaller stadiums when you have great expectations for your league and it's growth ?
@@misterc6012 i think it would be smarter to think long term. Im happy if they would play in Hard Rock but considering the growth of soccer and with messi also the MLS and that Messi makes Inter Miami’s logo big enough, it would be smarter to build soccer specific home and atleast a 40k or even 50k stadium. in 20 years is a 25k seat stadium really suitable for a MLS team with such a large fanbase?
@@NoName-rq6bg , We all know that bigger and better stadiums will eventually come. But like I mentioned, just look at the EPL, they have kept A LOT of their Old and Smaller Stadiums because of the Nostalgia and Tradition. Obviously, the teams that have built new and bigger stadiums have all had recent success, ei...Man City. For example...here in MLS, LAFC has been succesful since their inception. BMO only holds 22k, if you ask me, they have out grown that stadium, there is some room to expand it a bit, but not by much in the current footprint. LAFC can't just move in to the Coliseum for bigger games, they could have for MLS Cup, but decided to keep it at BMO. Inter Miami comes to L.A on Sun Sept 3rd, I can't imagine that they keep that game at a 22k Stadium. But they probably will and just keep tickets at at unreachable price for their real fans. We'll See
MLS stadiums ( soccer specific ) are actually nice . Expansion team # 30 is gonna San Diego . Expansion team # 31 should be either Phoenix or Las Vegas and # 32 either Indianapolis or Detroit . I must say if the USA want to really be better at ⚽️, They should add relegation .
Just missing a new stadium for the New England Revolution. We really need to get out of Gillette Stadium and into a proper urban stadium within Boston.
Sad that the Miami Hurricanes football team can't build their own stadium closer to campus. Fingers crossed on the proposed Tropical Park development. Longshot: Miami Marlins relocate and transfer the lease for LoanDepot Park to The U.
I think that after San Diego FC joins the fun, there should be 2 more teams to make it 32 teams. The 1st one should be in Las Vegas NV, at Allegiant Stadium. Here's the story on the 2nd one. I live in Connecticut, just outside of its largest city, Bridgeport CT. In that city, they are building a waterfront soccer stadium just across the river from Downtown Bridgeport. The team that will play there is Connecticut United FC, which will be an MLS Next Pro team. I think that they should join MLS should they expand to 32 teams. This would mean that our home state would be home to major league sports again! Maybe the Hartford Whalers could come back if the NHL ever expands again. Even if this doesn't happen, they should at least get an NWSL team.
If i remember one of the many early ideas talked about a joint venue with UM. But it went nowhere fast. At that time i don't think Beckham had enough investors to peak UM's interest, and UM already had other ideas themselves. It's South Florida politics in a nutshell. It's a miracle that Freedom park is going to happen. And with the transportation hub being mere blocks from the stadium grounds, i think it's a decent choice for a venue. Beckham should be super happy about this place.
Im surprised he didnt mention the fact that Snapdragon doesnt have the typical soccer stadium overhangs. It is believed one of the reasons the expansion fee is so expensive for San Diego(500 million) is because the stadium doesnt match all of the MLS's expansion standards ie: owned by team, covered roof...
Now with Messi on the team they need to reconsider a redesign of Freedom Park to hold more than 25,000. I believe they will use Hard Rock Stadium when Messi arrives as they will generate more money with more seating. Freedom Park has to hold a minimum of 40,000
There had been talks of put it in South Boston but that's been abandoned. They are currently building a soccer stadium in Pawtucket, RI but don't know if that's for the Revs. It should be though just to get out of Gillette Stadium.
I'm not a fan of Don Garber since he sits on the board of USSF and inhibits other leagues like the USL from competing with MLS. That however, is an aside from the rising growth and popularity of MLS. I think that USL is more diverse and much more authentic in it's affordability, growth, and organic fan engagement and identity.
San Diego's arrangement sucks. Having to pay San Diego State University to use THEIR stadium as a secondary tenant should have been a no-go. The league screwed up.
MLS should pull out of every city north of Cincinnati and east of the Cascades with the exception of St. Louis, Columbus Toronto, Montreal, and New York FC. They just don't draw well in the northern cities. One southern city they should also pull out of is Miami. Terrible attendance there, too. This means New England, New York Red Bulls, DC, Chicago, Kansas City, Philadelphia, and Minnesota need to be relocated. Great places for them: Raleigh-Durham Tampa Bay Jacksonville Birmingham San Antonio Albuquerque Norfolk-Virginia Beach
KC, MN, DC, and Philly all pull decent crowds (KC and MN have pretty damn rowdy and full ones, KC famous for their blue hell fans). I think that the idea of poor stadiums is a bigger one--why would fans attend a team in a stadium located in the middle of nowhere at a sucky stadium built for another sport? pretty sure DC united and MNUFC attendance jumped when they moved to their respective grounds. give a team a stadium and a winning on-field product and the fans will come no matter the weather. likewise, houston's games are routinely played in semi-empty stadiums (or were when I was last living there a few years ago). same used to be for dallas. i think the weather doesn't really matter here but the stadium does.

The MLS is not even 30 years old and is already at 30 teams with many more cities trying to get a team. San Diego payed 1/2 a billion expansion fee to get in. You will hate hearing this but millions in the USA care

I hope in 30 years mls will be big or bigger than nfl that their stadiums will upgrade and over pass nfl stadiums and look like those in Europe
nfl has the top 3 most expensive stadiums in the world, so it’ll take a lot more than 30 years i’d imagine

Depends on where live. Where I live in Portland, Oregon, MLS is very major as it is only one out of two professional leagues that is located here.
Finally an MLS video
7:20 “park city stadium”
I think the planned Austin stadium looks awesome and very intricate in its concept. I would love to watch a game there!
I think the cost for the NYFC makes sense it is NYC and putting up a new facility like this is bound to be up there

thats not mls

Expansion team # 30 is gonna San Diego .
Expansion team # 31 should be either Phoenix or Las Vegas and # 32 either Indianapolis or Detroit .

Promotion/relegation is something that wouldn't work in the usa
I know , the Millionaire owners will never allow it .
But in Canada on the other hand with the cpl it could work
Send teams to the USL.
They'll probably break it up like AL and NL with baseball with some interleague play
Apple won't sponsor because they're very controlling on what they advertise. Won't want to be attached to a potentially bad team. Hurts their brand
San Diego is going to get it's own stadium in the future they have the ground for it
still wait for vegas and phoenix to join mls as well.
They need to build their own air conditioned roofed soccer specific stadiums first.
chicago needs a real stadium soldier field is horrible for soccer
it's also horrible for Football
Its horrible in every sports chicaco get a new stadium
It's gonna get demolished/repurposed once Bears move isn't it???
