    I don't think so. Too much damage has been done to that brand and I don't know that it really held much value anyway. I would imagine anyone wanting to start a new team would want a fresh start not tied to Cooper's group.

    I am confused. Are you suggesting that we rename the city of St. Louis Detroit Motor City? Pretty sure people in both Missouri and Michigan would have problems with that.o_O

    so will their home games be in Michigan or Missouri? I feel like a Kansas City fan.

    Wow I'm really surprised and excited to see Albuquerque mentioned. We don't have any notable non-college teams. If they put a team here, I'd buy season tix on day 1

    Isn't Dave Checketts a St. Louis guy?

    He used to own the Blues, but he sold them. :)

    Ok, thanks Sport Billy...I knew he had some connection to St. Louis but I couldn't remember. IIRC, his name would come up as a person who could bring MLS to St. Louis.

    Don't forget former St.Louis Steamer Jim Kavanaugh is interested in getting a NASL team in St.Louis.

    People have been talking about Glavin moving his team up to the USL Pro for a few years. He doesn't have the money (or doesn't want to blow what he has), so this is highly contingent on a money man joining him. Once the Ambush are up and running, bleeding money all the way, their owner may reconsider funding outdoor as well.

    That's not true! There is a third party that will be behind the Ambush/USLPro team and speculation is that Celtic FC will be the third party. By the way the teams name will be called the St.Louis Chupacabra SC.

    Totally belongs in a thread titled "St. Louis is on the NASL expansion list."

    You're like the Central Time Zone Silverstein.
