Luis_Rancagua Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Guys, With the enormous success that we are presently seeing with the U-20 in Canada (in particular with attendence), what are the chances that this tournament triggers a strong movement for more Canadian cities in MLS such as Vancouver and Montreal??? I realise that these 2 cities are presently on the expansion radar screen of MLS, but what are the chances that MLS moves more quickly (let's say in less than 2 years) to give them quicker entry in MLS??? Now what about USL1, we now know that USL is already talking to a business group in BC that wants to bring a franchise to Victoria. What are the chances of more Canadian cities in the USL such as Hamilton, Winnipeg, Calgary, Edmonton, etc... Please put down your comments/input here.

JamesW Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 I don't think you will see more MLS teams in Canada before 2010. But your point about the USL looking at Canada because of this World Cup is a good one. I mean there are many Canadian cities that could hold USL-1, USL-2, and PDL teams. The fans are here, we have proven that. The only question is, are the owners here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pulsar Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 I don't think fans would support a USL franchise in any other cities other then what we have. Remember, both Calgary and Edmonton tried it 2-3 years back. Yes the U20 is considered a success...but there will be no fall-out such as people wanting to see a USL team. Jamit, you hit it on the head about the owners....having a team is a tax write off only....no profit whatsoever. We just have to take the money we made and create a stonger infrastructure...i think that would be the best result. Now...only to get it into the right hands.
