Why not them, they averaged 9,000 in attendance and its, fast growing. They're also moving to a new stadium that fits almost 17,000

Plus, The Impact are really good

May happen eventually but the Saputos don't like the single entity ownership model.

Once the majority of the teams get their own stadiums, we should begin seeing evidence of MLS (slowly) doing away with the single entity system - hopefully, withint the next 4-5 years, all teams will already be playing in an SSS or have concrete plans/dates for doing so. i'm pretty confident the Saputo's will eventualy show more interest in the league, especially when (not if :rolleyes: ) the Rhinos make the jump.
I went to school in Montreal and it's by far the most soccer-savvy city i've ever had the pleasure to live in (well, save my current residence: Rio de Janeiro! - quite a few soccer enthusiasts here...to my dismay, none of them know who Preki is, or what went down in 1998 :D ).

Of course, there are hardly any MLS fans in Montreal, but hopefully soon they'll all be converts. I still hope they only come aboard in a double Canadian expansion round - after at least 4 more U.S. entries.
