I'd be overjoyed if this were to happen but they haven't been able to find 1-2 good options. There are many factors involved in making this decision, mainly somebody with deep pockets willing to take a large financial hit over many years and still with enough money to commit to building a soccer specific stadium in a medium to major market city with the potential for a strong fanbase that will grow over time...(whew) I'm sure I left some things out but that's part of what's needed.
