Sacramento

The expansion candidate list keeps growing as Sacramento, California has thrown its hat into the ring. Assembly Speaker Fabian Núñez, who sits on the board of soccer's national governing body, is leading this charge. One of his partners is local Attorney Dick Hyde, who admits that things are still very preliminary.

"I wouldn't characterize it as a long shot, but it's an endeavor that's in its infancy," said Hyde, who was part of a group that tried to bring the MLS to Sacramento a decade ago. "I think Elk Grove is probably a really good spot for soccer."

Until New York City is able to finalize a deal, you will see more and more cities pop up as candidates. While yes, Garber did hire full time staff to help finalize a stadium deal in NYC, there are no guarantees.
