On Saturday, the club drew 24,376 fans for the final home game of the regular season, which broke a USL single-game attendance record. Of course, the record they broke was one they had set twice this season.

these games are fun as frick. ive been to probably 5, and it's a good time. really great atmosphere. city loves them.

they are not mls ready yet, though. don't have their own stadium or place to train. operations still seem a bit amateurish from my perspective. they will get there, though. fantastic inaugural season.

ETA: the crystal palace game and atmosphere that day was fricking amazing. really fun.

NASL just needs to go ahead and give up. They fricked themselves and now USL is going to become the second tier in the American soccer pyramid.

MLS Commissioner Garber is visiting Cincinnati.

quote:

Major League Soccer Commissioner Don Garber will visit Cincinnati at the end of November, a move that has set off speculation that the city's minor league team could become a major league team.

quote:

The Enquirer learned about the Nov. 29 visit after seeing mention of it on Mayor John Cranley's upcoming schedule. Cranley is set to give Garber a driving tour of the city from 1:30 p.m. to 3 p.m. that day.

quote:

FC General Manager Jeff Berding confirmed the visit. A public event will also be held that day, during which the commissioner will talk about his vision for the MLS. Fans and supporters will be able to ask questions.

quote:

In June, Berding went to San Jose for the 2016 MLS All-Star Game and United Soccer League board meeting, a trip billed as the first steps for making FC Cincinnati MLS ready.

quote:

Cincinnati, then, would be vying for one of the four remaining expansion slots with several current USL organizations and other marketplaces. Insiders and observes alike have come to know Sacramento, Detroit, San Antonio and St. Louis as the front-running cities in the race for expansion.

Sacramento is a virtual lock for one of the four remaining spots. The other three are still up in the air. It is nice to see the mayor involved in the process. Political support is extremely helpful.
