MLS Expansion - Philadelphia stadium deal unveiled
The governor himself announced a $47 million state funding deal that will help build a soccer stadium in the city of Chester. Now all they need is MLS to great the city of Philadelphia a team with which to fill it.
The plan includes $25m for the stadium, but is contingent on MLS giving them the franchise. The other $22m will be used for non-soccer stadium specific improvements to the area.
All along, the league has said that the only piece missing from the Philadelphia bid was the state money, so now that they have that piece, it is hard to see a way for them not to get a team.
