dfwabel Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 SC (Small Chance) Detroit1- The story only referred to a Facebook page and the sub-heading used the words, "grass roots".2- No quotes from anyone associated.

LETSGOBLUEBEATMSU Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Grand Rapids would be a great choice aswell but Detroit needs it because sports nowadays run that city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrySmalls Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 I would be shocked, stunned, and baffled if Detroit gets an MLS franchise before Orlando, Miami, or Atlanta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJM Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 There a too many cities that are more viable options ahead of Detroit...and I can't imagine this working given their economic climate.

krudmonk Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 I would be shocked, stunned, and baffled if Detroit gets an MLS franchise before Orlando, Miami, or Atlanta.Orlando is already closer to official than Detroit is, Miami is assumed to be Beckham's ownership option and Atlanta isn't even in the same conversation.
