Have MLS franchise, will travel
By Martin Rogers, Yahoo! Sports
Apr 5, 3:46 EDT
Major League Soccer commissioner Don Garber admitted that North American soccer�s evolving fan base has forced a fresh approach in identifying potential expansion locations.
That�s why Garber and his colleagues have been delighted with the response of the supporters of Toronto FC. Last weekend, more than 3,000 fans crossed the border for the club�s 2008 season opener in Columbus, Ohio.
"The concept of the traveling fan is not something that has happened a great deal in MLS until now,� Garber said. �There are so many things that are different about this league, but if that is the thing that can differentiate it, that would be very positive.�

| I wouldn't cross the street to watch a soccer game even if it was "professional." But, if they can make it work, more power to 'em. Will soccer moms be the MILF for the league? |

What is your favorite sport? Is it American football? I love watching pretty much any sport out there. It definitely will be great if North American teams become more prominent. There are so many soccer fans out there. |
