    Excited about this! Crowd atmosphere has always been great.

    Does anyone know more about how expansion works in MLS? How does the new roster get built? Will FC Cincinnati draft players from other teams like in NFL and the NBA?

      I'm an MN United fan, we got put into an expansion draft along with Atlanta when we entered the league. I think it was only 5 players each? We also got first pick in the Super Draft. As far as I can recall that's all that was provided from the league, there might have been some TAM/GAM as well. Many of our core players were signed from our NASL team, not sure how common that is for other expansion teams.

    I haven't really been keeping up on MLS, seems like a crazy amount of expansions in a short period of time. Is anyone else kinda concerned about league inflation? Or am I crazy?
