If anything go to 36 and create a first and second division
With the way they do expansion you are never going to see the newer owners agree to that.
Dallas would be second tier for as long as the Hunts were involved. They'd be like one of those poor arse Euro teams that could move up by winning their division but choose not to.

Pretty much every MLS fan I know isn't happy with the playoff format. It takes way too long and the awkward international break right in the middle really makes it lose steam and importance right when the quality really picks up. It doesn't feel as epic as it should.
As much as I love the two-legged format, I think it takes way too long for a league playoff format like this. It works for the Champions League and Europa League because that tournament is spread out over months, but the MLS playoffs can't be like that. I would make MLS Cup the first Saturday after the international break ends. The other rounds should be single games (hosted by the higher seed) played only on weekends. It's bad for the league to have playoff games on Wednesday nights in front of 15K fans at most. Give these games the stage they deserve.
If the league wants to keep the two-legged format in the conference semifinals and finals, I'm fine with that, but they should shorten the regular season by two weeks so that all those playoff games can be on the weekend. Just play more weekday games in the summer during the regular season to compensate.
