Can you give us the status on some other markets?

There's more interest in MLS expansion than at any other time in the history of the sport in the country. Without prioritizing any one market, here is a rundown of the cities: Vancouver, Portland, Seattle, San Jose, Sacramento, San Diego, San Antonio, St. Louis, Cleveland, Milwaukee, Rochester, New York City, Atlanta, Miami and Las Vegas.

It would seem that now with the league at 14 teams (counting the Quakes) and 18 being my favorite number for a truly national MLS, any ideas for expansion have to focus on the best distribution of four teams from those 14
Notable is that three are in the Pacific Northwest, two in Cali, two in Southwest, three in Midwest, two in NY state and two in the South. To truly get national coverage the PNW and South definately need teams.
There is also mention of Philly and it seems like that is almost a done deal.
