How many likes can I put on here? As said earlier, this is super exciting especially for the women's game. If this works out, this will be an excellent opportunity to bring the highest level of womens soccer to Atlanta. If you're not aware, USL, actually has actually developed a sort of formula to discovering the best cities/communities that could foster professional soccer. USL actually approached the City of Roswell. I found the full video from the city of Roswell very interesting.

I happen to live in Roswell and love soccer but I’m not holding my breath for **franchise ball** that is forever unable to climb a pyramid. At least (I think) it isn’t USL coming with some investor to try and steal a fanbase like they did in Chattanooga. Pro soccer in America is jacked up, and MLS isn’t going to let that change.
If this was an entry into an open pyramid I’d be very excited. Otherwise it might as well be the Dutch Lions gimmick in Conyers.

Maybe I'm misinterpreting you, but this thread seems to be geared more towards the potential of a women's team than a men's team. Which, if it happens, will include just about everything the you mentioned the situation lacking. |

Let me know when MLS loses its grip on the good old boys club that is the US Soccer federation, and we get an open pyramid in men’s or women’s pro soccer. |

I don't study the men's game or the pyramid. Anyway, back to Roswell. Personally, I want to see competition and opportunities for female players, assuming the clubs can be viable on their own. USL is proving they know how to find cities where their product can be feasible. Have you been to a USL Championship game? Take a day trip to Birmingham, and let me know your thoughts. You would be impressed with what is happening in some of these cities. In this example, I wonder why Atl Utd didn't start a women's team. They would have the market locked down. Maybe they don't want to. The cost of starting an NWSL franchise is almost 90 million dollars. Starting a USL Super League franchise costs 9 to 15 million. So much talent can not go pro due to so few pro franchises in the US. Not everyone wants to go to Mexico or Europe to play... So, I hope the Roswell situation works out for Roswell and the greater Atlanta area. Heck, I hope the USL Super League is a resounding success! Having 2 top female leagues will make them both better. Talent will find its way to the best-run franchises. |

And that’ll be a shame. Money certainly tips the scales in Europe but an open pyramid that aligns like-level clubs to compete is a good thing not a bad thing. You’re free to like it or not like it but that’s my belief. MLS being run like NFL (minus the very important ability to sell advertising) is crippling the growth of the game in this country. Helping NY and LA make the playoffs is if no value if you can’t sell commercials - so you might as well grow the game in more markets. If USSF gives men’s USL the same D1 sanction they have given to USL women, good things will follow. Nevertheless… if Roswell builds it and they come, I’ll be among them. |
