    The day of the St. Louis stadium vote, the MLS president basically promised STL a team if the funding was approved. You can't put much stock in anything that MLS says.

    The perfect expansion storm is developing!

    The 2 by 11 plan will not hold.

    We've been through this in another thread - it's worthless.

    Paulson told Logsdon (with the City) that Garber told him.

    From your link, you can see that Paulson is backtracking - "but they unequivocably have not given a guarantee."
