Miami is out as is Orlando in my mind. Out of the bunch you offered I would say NY because the Cosmos name alone. I will also throw in Detroit or maybe Minneapolis. One more possible location because you never know is Vegas. I doubt it but you never know.

Like in 2004 when Salt Lake entered the league out of blue. We may see the exact same thing with the 20th team. At first NY2 with the Cosmos was the favorite, but lately it is being discovered the group behind the Cosmos doesn't have the finances and are having problems with securing a new stadium in Queens. So, late you have been hearing the "Don" down play NY2. My guess the franchise location which secures a new stadium with the proper financial backing no matter where it is located will be the 20th team.

Therefore at the moment I would not be surpised if it was Las Vegas. They just recently have gotten approval by the city council to built a 25,000 seat air conditioned retrackable dome stadium, they is also a group which has the money that has been trying to get a team since 2007. So, for lack of a better term I would put my money on Las Vegas.

Whover can build a stadium first - which won't be that make-believe Cosmos group. St. Louis would ave the best fan support and soccer history. Orlando would be next on that list. I would hate to see an indoor, plastic grass field like Vergas would need to build.

Miami or Orlando would be nice.

Give it to a small market team because traditionally MLS is best suited in those cities.

San Antonio is a darkhorse in this race. It'd be surprising for them to get a team, but I've read that the league is interested in the city and the city certainly would have a fanbase to support a team.
