Going to my first Atlanta United game this Summer, looking forward to it. -- nm - Strongbad May 19, 07:56 1
- Nice. I should try and get to a Union game one of these years. -- nm - znufrii 🦄 May 19, 07:57
*moves the team to Los Angeles* -- nm - Mop May 19, 07:44 2
- *waves* we're right here! -- nm - Vegas May 19, 08:15
- We've already got two plus the place the Chargers initially played at is already occupied by the Galaxy so thanks but no thanks -- nm - JD May 19, 07:48
Promotion and relegation have to come in soon. There’s not enough season to play a good schedule. - Will Hunting 🍔🍟🍔🍹🍷 May 19, 07:27 9
- But to avoid hurting anyone's feelings, we'll call them League A and League 1. -- nm - Pachypodium baronii May 19, 07:52
- They could feasibly go as high as 36 teams without expanding their schedule, ending up having teams only play in-conference games. -- nm - znufrii 🦄 May 19, 07:45
- I can't see that ever come into play in North America. Who's paying$500M for a franchise that could end up playing in the minors? -- nm - Reagen May 19, 07:41 6
  - There are ways to financially structure it so it's less absurd. -- nm - Volnelk May 19, 08:08
  - I get it but at some point, you’re not serving the sport in offering matchups. - Will Hunting 🍔🍟🍔🍹🍷 May 19, 07:44 3
    - Current schedule is 34 matches. Home and away against in-conference teams plus six* out-of-conference matches. -- (edited) - znufrii 🦄 May 19, 07:46 2
      - So you may go 5-6 years without seeing a team in your house. That’s…not optimal. -- nm - Will Hunting 🍔🍟🍔🍹🍷 May 19, 07:48 1
        
        Wondering if they don’t break it further into divisions at some point -- (edited) - znufrii 🦄 May 19, 08:01
