Cincinnati was officially awarded an MLS franchise today:

I say that pretty much puts the final nail in the coffin for San Antonio's bid. There's no way MLS would grant Cincinnati a franchise if Columbus wasn't relocating given the two metro areas are only about 100 miles apart.
Unless some major setback happens in Austin's stadium plans or the city of Columbus actually succeeds in their lawsuit against MLS, it looks like Austin is a lock to get the Crew at this point.
I'm happy for Austin, but disappointed for us. I personally believe both cities could support an MLS team - which would make for an awesome rivalry.
