FCC to MLS? - BeerCat - 12-06-2017 08:41 AM What exactly is happening today? Is the mls announcing who is going to mls or just more of the teams kissing their asses today? RE: FCC to MLS? - AeroCat - 12-06-2017 08:47 AM Quote:Four cities will be competing for the next two MLS expansion slots that are scheduled to be announced before the end of the year.

What happens if they get selected and the stadium falls through? RE: FCC to MLS? - RealDeal - 12-06-2017 12:34 PM That's why they got the approvals for Oakley before this deadline. Worst case scenario they can proceed in Oakley but it seems like they just wanted that in their back pocket and still want to pursue the West End if granted a franchise. I have a feeling when they're passed over they'll try to proceed with the west end site for the next time around. There's just so many hoops to jump through where you couldn't have a green light on that site by this deadline.

IF they are going to do it, I'd prefer the West End Site if for no other reason to set up an anchor on that side of the city to build around. RE: FCC to MLS? - BeerCat - 12-06-2017 02:27 PM I thought I read that the MLS had approved Nippert as a "temporary site" if they were to select FCC this go around?

Many don't think FCC is getting this time anyway so they'll have time to further their plans before the next teams are added. RE: FCC to MLS? - crex043 - 12-06-2017 04:30 PM The wildcard is attendance. Nashville has nothing established. FCC, albeit in the USL, has averaged 21,696 a game which is around the MLS average attendance and has pushed past 33k for their max attendance. The entire world has taken note of FCC's popularity and it would go a long way if the MLS were able to add us. RE: FCC to MLS? - BeerCat - 12-06-2017 06:04 PM It just seems weird to me that MLS would approve Nippert temporarily if FCC wasn’t getting in. Nashville doesn’t even have a team yet right? Their hype seems totally based on one USMNT game. FCC has actual attendance numbers to prove theirs and the sports popularity here. Seems like FCC to MLS is common sense so it’s a guarantee that it won’t happen. RE: FCC to MLS? - RealDeal - 12-06-2017 06:34 PM Nashville has not played a match, they begin USL play this year. I believe the did host the national team this year to great reviews. |
