In recent weeks, top MLS officials have presented a detailed proposal to local politicians, outlining a plan for a 20,000- to 25,000-seat stadium on roughly eight acres near the northern end of the park.
The plan, still in its nascent stages, would create a home for a brand-new league team, as yet unnamed. The league believes construction could be completed one to two years after the project receives the necessary approvals, according to officials briefed on the plans.

It is admirable that they have an Academy team (there is conflicting info about their "west" team still being theirs) and then in effect a Reserve team. This follows the MLB model in starting minor league teams prior to joining the majors through expansion and should be a requirement for ALL future MLS expansion.
