Could you see a Major League Soccer team in Detroit, Michigan? Why or why not?

The announced this week that they are looking to put a team in Cleveland or St. Louis.  If a team goes into Cleveland, I'd think that it would not be likely that Detroit would get one.

Sure they should...\n\nYes, they had two teams. Two teams that made no effort to improve themselves, yet wanted the city to pay millions in taxpayer revenues to build stadiums that the team owners would get to use FOR FREE....And frankly, the loss of the Raiders was no loss...the fights in stands were more entertaining than the team...\n\nYes, it would be different now because the league would fund a great deal of the construction costs, the NFL has \nnot had a team in the 2nd largest media market in the country for over a decade, which has cost the league MILLIONS in advertiser revenues and TV contact money. All a owner has to do is put a decent product on the field and fans will come. With a new stadium, this should be a lot easier. Just look at the Lakers and Clippers!\n\nLA is NOT a soccer city, you forget about USC & UCLA! Their teams draw huge crowds, so can a Pro football team.\n\nAnd a far as the blackout argument, you wanna watch other games? Great, buy NFL Sunday ticket through your Direct TV and watch what you want....

Living in Detroit for over 20 years, I am a fan of all four teams listed. The Detroit Tigers are my favorite team of all times no matter if they win or lose. I am a Lions fan and I miss watching them on television since I not live in the Atlanta area and I can only see the Lions play if it Sunday Night Football, Monday Night Football, of the Lions are playing the Falcons, or if the just happen to be on television on a Sunday and I predict that the Lions will make the playoffs this year. I like the Red Wings and I miss seeing them played on television but I will be watching them during the playoffs on television. Finally, I do enjoy watching the Detroit Pistons play and I moved to Georgia the year the Pistons won the NBA Championship in 2004 and I am confident that the Pistons will win the 2006 NBA Championship.

I am live in Michigan so naturally I am a Piston fan. I like them for their teamwork style play. They don't rely on one particular player to carry them through each game. Also I like most of the players attitude. Rasheed is a bit lippy but he adds character to the team. Pistons are a fun team to watch. Go PISTONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Tigers are having their best season in a long time.  The Redwings and the Pistons both made it to the post season, which in of itself is an accomplishment.  Our beloved Bill Laimbeer could coach the shock to another WNBA championship.  But as long as the Lions are owned by Ford (the automotive industry is dead here) run my McMillan (who just can't create the vision), I am afraid their is little hope.  But at least Michigan has an underdog to root for.

If they do, I would consider it a miracle.  The United States does not put as much emphasis in the sport as most of the country.  The resources available to the US National Team are not sufficient, in my opinion, to build a team capable of winning the World Cup.  They can do well, but it would be a surprise to me to see them past the quarter finals.

although some teams from other countries do play in other countries leagues for example swansea wrexham cardiff gretna also teams from luxembourg play in the swiss leagues i do not agree that rangers and celtic should go straight to the premiership, if they came down here then they should start in the coca cola league 2

I am american so I will answer this a little more in your area unlike those who are looking at MLS from the outside. I started to get into MLS after watching the 2002 world cup and falling in love with the game. It is not as excititing as the world cup, obviously. However, it does start you out on the right path. The MLS teams are really improving quality of play and alot of the players go on to play in really high level European teams (aka Beasley, Bocanagra, and McBride all from MLS Chicago Fire). The players you see in MLS are usually young so they are still playing for the love of the game. That's why I love it. It is honest and simple play. I recommend watching it, though. If you like MLS, then you will really like European play so start off with MLS and grow with European play...\n\nand cheer for the Chicago Fire!!!

Puhleeeez! Let's not even go there! The US might--just might--be good at local soccer--and I say that kindly. But to put them at World Cup class and compare them to teams like England, Brazil, Germany, and a few others--it's a total waste of your 5 points to even ask such a question. To put it mildly--they suck!

Well I'm an Aussie and already here but that is something I would not miss for the world. Not just to watch my beloved Socceroo's but to see and be gob smacked first hand by the brilliance of the teams that would participate. It would be such a privilege to see them play first hand. The atmosphere must be electric. That would be an experience that would be hard to beat.

Poor management by the MLS.  This was during the "Americanization" phase of the MLS, with penalty shootouts to settle ties, funny team names and the clock counting down to zero.  This in effect had the result opposite of "preaching to the choir" that is ignoring the choir all together, where the largest groups interested in soccer where somewhat ignored in hopes of garnering new fans.  An example of this would be the choices in stadiums.  Tampa played in the Buccaneers' stadium, way too large and unaccommodating for the Mutiny's needs.  The Fusion had their games in Fort Lauderdale, far away from a large segment of the fan base in Miami ( a more central location between the two cities would have been better ) in a rather unimpressive stadium.  Finally, at the time of their axing, these two teams where far away from the other ones in the MLS, so it was also a cost cutting measure for time and travelling.

I'm a new fan to the game of soccer or football (whatever the hell you want to call it) and I really do enjoy watching the revs play. Although I do agree their not a real club like they have in europe but then again were not in freakin Europe. Go REVS (Play better)!
