Is Chivas USA getting ready to move to Santa Ana?
The city of Santa Ana is in discussion with Chivas USA to build youth fields on a piece of land currently used as a golf course. The team is looking at building 'as many as seven soccer fields and a 2,000 to 3,000-seat stadium' on the 102-acre site.
However, youth fields might just be the start of things as the team as not ruled out building a permanent home on the site.
"We're only talking right now about the youth, we haven't thought about moving the team... We're open to possibilities, but not in the short term."
Chivas USA has not had much luck attracting fans to the Home Depot Center, so with their lease coming to an end after next season, a move could be in the works.
Santa Ana is about 10-miles east of Carson in has a large Latino population. If Chivas wants to keep a team in MLS, this could be a wonderful place to relocate.

Nice blog! I have started a blog recently about soccer as well.
It is an ideal city, if not the ideal city for their organization and for their future.
