As someone who plans to eventually move back to the Midwest, it's exciting. I can't bring myself to care too much for the MLS from my exile here in Florida. There is no team within 1200 miles and my strict policy of never rooting for a Florida-based sports team, doesn't make even the remote chance of a franchise here appealing. As for closer to home, Chicago and KC are right out.
UPDATE (by IM):
I think Southlandish should hold out for the establishment of "Farmersville 1821", nickname "The Irish Daze", kit green & white horizontal stripes. After all Farmersville has much going for it:
Farmersville is located off of Interstate 55 at Exit 72. There are currently two gas stations located at this exit as well as three eateries, which are Subway, Champ's Bar & Grill, and Arts Restaurant. Farmersville currently has festival days entitled "Irish Days" which usually begins the second or third week of June and last three days.
I have even identified a likely spot for the stadium near downtown.
And for those who think Farmersville may not be big enough to support a team, I point to the following demographic information:
For every 100 females there were 86.9 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 81.8 males.
Sounds like the dating opportunities are endless! Pack your bags boys!
