There is a Q&A thread but I can't find it - by all means shift it in there if need be.
Where will this club slot in? Who will we be up against? Do we know yet?

50 States divided by 4. That won't work (yes, I know America Junior is in it), so how about 50 divided by 5?
5 groups of 10. That would be lovely.
Trouble is, does Alaska, Hawaii, et al even have clubs? No. But there has to be a better way to do it - you could even have a American Champions Cup. LA Galaxy v NYCFC in the final? Yes please. Not quite UEFA but certainly doable.
That's what the conferences are for.Maybe I am saying what has been said before. Maybe I am saying the obvious. But would it not be better to split the country up? I know how big it is - I've seen a lot of it.
You can guarantee that team 24 is either Indianapolis or Minneapolis with Chivas' license being bought by the Sacramento group and then moving them that way.MLS needs a 24th team ASAP. An unbalanced schedule is dumb when you have a schedule that isn't 162 games.
Once they have 24 teams, they can have four divisions of six, play your own division three times, everyone else once. Still a 34 game schedule and the divisions will actually mean something.
Right now, you have conference teams playing other conference teams more than others and it's not fair.
