How does it get it work getting picked by the MLS without the stadium right now? They only get picked if they have concrete confirmed plans for a new stadium? And if they have these plans in place and then dont get picked then what?

Cincinnati New Futbol Team
Golf is a relatively simple game, played by reasonably intelligent people, stupidly.

I know they had to submit non-binding plans in their MLS bid. They had quotes from multiple companies and basically had to show that they would be able to build it financially.
If given a franchise, they would need to build a stadium, but it wouldn't have to be the one submitted in the plans. Also, contrary to popular belief, they gave four potential sites to MLS. There still hasn't been a decision made on a stadium site.

What I dont understand though is if it is a taxpayer paid stadium (partially or otherwise) doesnt that need to be voted on? So if they submit plans hoping for that and it gets voted down then what? Did they have to submit plans that involved a privately funded stadium if need be?

We have tremendous support and a really good thing going with FCC. Too bad we have county and city leadership that is clueless. Seriously, they will screw this up.

It's been hinted at (if not outright confirmed) that the location & plan in Newport already has taxpayer funding in place via the TIF money being allocated to the larger development. That was the site they "submitted" as their proposed site in the bid, because there would be nothing else that needed to be done to get the stadium built there.
As for the Cincinnati side, there would most likely need to be a new TIF created (which wouldn't require a vote) and some other money allocated, possibly out of the current stadium tax (which doesn't ever sunset, since new revenue will be needed to fund repairs and upgrades to the existing buildings, and wouldn't require a new vote since it's already on the books).
Either way, nothing being done here is going to require or need a vote IMO.

FC Cincinnati stunk it up today. I dont know much about soccer, but it sure seems like FC Cincinnati gets rattled easily. They seem to bitch a lot and pick up unnecessary yellow/red cards.
