Handicapping MLS Expansion: May 2017 Edition
Tampa Bay: 3-1 St. Petersburg voters approved an expansion of Al Lang Stadium to accommodate the Tampa Bay Rowdies’ bid for an MLS expansion team. Tampa Bay is a hot market, and a stylishly upgraded Al Lang Stadium on the waterfront could be a major community amenity. Now comes the hard part: the referendum merely gave public approval to the project, but Rowdies owner Bill Edwards needs to come up the $80-million to expand Al Lang Stadium and the reported $150 million expansion fee–dependent on landing an MLS franchise.

Idea of MLS stadium kicked around at County Commission budget discussion
Taxpayers appear to still be on the hook for nearly $44 million and a long-shot chance of landing a Major League Soccer squad.
The plan calls for demolishing Memorial Stadium and the Grady Cole Center and replacing them with a state-of-the-art MLS stadium.
The county is including the funding in its Capital Improvement Plan.
Commissioner Matthew Ridenhour, R-District 5, likes most of the CIP, but wants to split the vote so he can try to stop the project.
“I hope that we are able to vote on each line item individually, or at least break out the Memorial Stadium,” Ridenhour said.
The momentum for soccer has stalled, mainly because of the city of Charlotte's inaction.
Potential stadium owner Marcus Smith is asking the city to match the county's contribution of $43.75 million.
With an election coming up, City Council members don't like what they see.
But County Commissioner Trevor Fuller, D-at-large, said investing in soccer is a smart
move.
“I believe having MLS soccer in Charlotte would be great in our community,” Fuller said.
County Manager Dena Diorio agrees and hopes the city will come around.
“I am still hopeful the city of Charlotte will vote favorably to move $43.75 million in tourism dollars to move the project forward,” she said.
Charlotte is competing against 11 other cities for four MLS expansion spots. Two teams will be announced this summer.

Christos FC: Amateurs named after liquor store who barely train on brink of dream MLS date
Walk into Christos Discount Liquor Store on the outskirts of Baltimore, MD and you will spot a row of trophies above shelves filled with brandy, cognac, scotch and bourbon whisky.
Behind the till there is even more silverware on show beneath banners dedicated to a successful local amateur football team.
This is the home of Christos FC.
Christos are a club started by a group of friends 20 years ago with the aid of sponsorship from their local alcohol outlet and they are on the brink of making a name for themselves on a national scale.
They barely train, but victory over Premier Development League outfit Chicago FC United on Wednesday will earn the side from the Maryland Major Soccer League (MMSL) - a regional division on the bottom rung of the United States Soccer Federation's ladder - a trip to face MLS giants DC United, the country's second most successful club, in the fourth round of the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup.

Football thrives on friction between clubs but is it inauthentic to create one? In a young league such as MLS the results can be interesting to say the least
