Raleigh is not getting an MLS expansion club.  The current proposal is just OK. The city and market is just OK. The ownership group headed up by Steve Malik would be among the “poorest” of the en

It's almost as if MLS just gave them a franchise even though the city had no pro soccer history, had no measurable support to estimate, and didn't even really ask for a team...

But they are the current IT city that is financially broke and they are having problems living up to an agreement they made with a big new employer downtown too Asurion.

I used to live in Nashville and have a lot of friends there, and I miss the way the city was before it became Bachelorette Party HQ.

I was openly wondering on the Nashville Thread if a threat by Nashville, SC to move to Raleigh would assist in breaking the log jam between the Team Owner and City Government.  Someone replied that Las Vegas would be a stronger competitor than Raleigh would.

Yeah, Las Vegas seems to be the consensus city they'd go to if Nashville doesn't work out.

I think Raleigh would be a better soccer market.  Vegas is getting crowded with their NFL and NHL teams and the market is growing it is really not much bigger than the Raleigh Durham which is much wealthier.    Nashville still probably wont lose that team I would think despite their new stadium woes.

No, Nashville won't lose it, even though it's been kind of a mess since day 1. But speculation drives clicks.

MLS isn't going to put a team in Raleigh at this point with Charlotte coming on board.

Would be a shame to see Nashville bungle this over trying to attract Nascar

Music City Heaters

@HeatersNSC

BREAKING: Per @HeatersNSC sources, @JohnCooper4Nash continues to delay demo permits for @NashvilleSC MLS Stadium to engage in closed-door negotiations with SMI to bring a @NASCAR race to Fairgrounds Speedway. Such a deal is projected to require a $30m investment from Metro.
