Today is the deadline for interested cities to submit expansion bids to Major League Soccer. What originally started as ten cities that had been identified has swelled to twelve with the additions of Phoenix and Indianapolis.
Some bids have already been submitted to the league. The Tampa Bay Rowdies delivered their bid to MLS headquarters in New York City yesterday afternoon. Don Garber and Landon Donovan attended an event in San Diego, where that city’s bid was handed over.
Indy Eleven throwing their hat in the ring was a surprise yesterday as reports surfaced that there was a twelfth city bidding.
