Austin should have done what others did


why?

Prove their is a base with a minor league team and then put in a bed.


why is that important?

Not steal a team bc an owner doesn’t want to pay for his own stadium.



So you're suggesting it's Austin's fault the owner wants to move the team? If Austin refused would the Crew stay put?

It's worth noting that team relocation isn't just limited to MLS within the American soccer pyramid. This is simply the most high-profile case since San Jose in 2005, and a lot of current MLS fans don't even know about that.

The team we now know as Orlando City actually began when the aforementioned Austin Aztex moved to Florida in 2010. Technically, the older Orlando City franchise from the USL dissolved, but it's basically the same club for all intents and purposes.
