Replaces Chivas, commencing in 2017. 22-person ownership.
And we thought we had ownership problem with a board. Try 22 different people invested in it. Man sounds like a train wreck waiting to happen. And that's without the fact Vincent Tan is involved.
Well, the league wasted little time getting some exposure for this club.

That said, the inaugural season will be in 2017? I didn't think they'd be out of competition for that long.
Well guys from what we have witnessed in MLS I wouldn't be surprised if they are a success.
Hollywood City would've been my suggestion.
And Kool and the Gang would do a modified version of this :

It seems like they're desperate to get a team in place in time for Atlanta's debut. I don't know why, but this leaves me with a really uneasy feeling about the future of LAFC.
MLS has been working on this for a year or more. It hasn't struck me as desperate. My first thought was they need to give that club as much time as possible to gain a valid foothold in one of the biggest media markets on this side of the planet.....in time for their next broadcast deal in 2022 or whatever it is. I'm sure all these investors are thinking about that too.Quote:

it's also nice to see owners ready to immediately pay for a stadium. Even though they didn't directly say they would pay the entire bill - at least in the presser.
When are they opening a pitch in Los Angeles? :)
Rumors are they'll begin playing at LA Coliseum until their own stadium is complete. LAC is a 30 minute drive from Carson. This is actually a great spot for the team, its certainly promising. With an ownership group as large and prominent as this you'd have to assume they'll be making this launch a rather substantial affair via press, signings, etc.
^ Hmmmm, that's not a bad location at all. They'll be ground-sharing with USC and that may create a few hiccups like scheduling and pitch upkeep, but probably nothing too severe. Having 90,000+ seats may make it look a bit cavernous for soccer, though. That would be my only reservation.

Would have to play a couple seasons in Coliseum at most, maybe less if they get the project going quickly.Quote:

cool 110mil for expansion fee...

How is it that some people just do not GET IT? How could anyone write that up and post it for the world to see, and be completely ok with the content?!
