MLS pushes forward

18 teams. That's how many MLS franchises will be in place by 2011. Be careful guys, the air is thin up there and we wish you well.

Portland was awarded the last 'available' franchise this week, and work will begin on renovating PGE Park, presumably sooner than later. They will have their work cut out for them, as PGE currently doesn't have much expansion room and it seems inconceivable that the facility would continue to house both a soccer team and a baseball team. Add the inevitable drama that surrounds a stadium involving public financing and its going to be a tight timeline for them. (See the March 1st post for more of that).
