MLS SURVEY ON SAN DIEGO STADIUM LATEST STEP IN EXPANSION QUEST

In a week when there is plenty of talk about the futures of the American professional soccer leagues, came a surprise in the inboxes of many Southern California MLS fans — a request on Friday to take a survey from Major League Soccer concerning a possible future stadium in San Diego.

The survey, which focused on possible location and the costs survey respondents were willing to pay at a theoretical San Diego MLS team’s games, was introduced as, “A private investment group, in partnership with San Diego State University, is currently assessing the potential viability of a new stadium in Mission Valley that could serve as the home of an expansion Major League Soccer team and San Diego State University football.”

While it was made clear in the survey that the research was being conducted for possible, not confirmed, future MLS expansion plans to the city, the survey is the latest evidence of San Diego being a strong expansion candidate in the years to come, should a stadium project find any traction in the city.
