They can't seem to get ownership groups together to bid on an MLS team and build a SSS stadium. I remember it being a great hotbed for youth and college soccer, so I don't know what the deal is.

They're about to get shut out of MLS altogether if they don't get something solid quickly. San Antonio, Miami, Sacramento, Las Vegas and MSP are all further along than St Louis for the last expansion spots. Who knows when another round of expansion could happen.

So what is the capacity of the stadium FCKC plays at? I haven't been by since they moved to the UMKC area, but can't imagine it would be more than around 5K.

But, it would be incredibly easy for them to add sections of seating if they need to.
