Most CPL fans have no illusion that it's going to be a hard couple of years, but I understand all the investors have signed on for 10 years and are prepared for millions in losses. That said, I think the key is focus on Canadian cities outside of the Big 3 (it seems to work for the CFL), build rivalries and then promote the heck out of the MLS matchups in the Voyageurs Cup. I think in a decade the league could have a vibrant niche of about 12-16 teams.
