SAN DIEGO — Soccer fans in San Diego are expressing optimism that after years of waiting, the city may finally be on the verge of landing an MLS expansion franchise. That optimism reached greater heights after comments by MLS Commissioner Don Garber Thursday ahead of the MLS Cup.
He also confirmed they are in talks with a specific ownership group. The San Diego Union-Tribune reported that group consists of Sycuan, teaming with a bilionaire from Egypt. While a playing site has not been made explicit, it's clear that all parties foresee the team playing at San Diego State University's new Snapdragon Stadium.
San Diego is competing with Las Vegas to become the 30th MLS franchise. As recently as last year, insiders felt Las Vegas had the inside track. However, difficulties getting a stadium approved in Las Vegas, combined with the quick success of the San Diego Wave at the newly opened Snapdragon Stadium may have moved San Diego into the lead.
