MLS Denies Sacramento Expansion
After five year of being strung along, Major League Soccer has again awarded
another city a franchise. The winner yesterday was St. Louis and their
scheduled to kick off in a new downtown stadium is 2022. At this point,
Sacramento appears to be used as leverage against other cities also wanting
a franchise. There is steep price to join the league, in April the expansion fee
went up to $200 million which many have forced the Sacramento investors to recalibrate?
