Real Monarchs (RSLs reserve team) won in 2019, but other than them and Red Bull 2 in 2016, the division is usually dominated by the independent clubs. Phoenix Rising and Tampa Bay were supposed to play in the final last year until it got cancelled due to a COVID outbreak in TBs squad. Both are leading their respective conferences again this season. Louisville City has been one of the other very strong clubs in the Eastern Conference and they won a couple titles in 2017 and 2018.
I’m a Phoenix Rising season ticket holder and I can tell you when they face off against one of the MLS affiliated squads they physically outmatch many of the players on the opposing team. Rising played Tacoma (Sounders affiliate) a couple weeks ago and there were several moments where Tacoma players were just getting “little brothered” off the ball often ending up on the ground. I think something like 8 of Tacoma’s starting 11 were teenagers and while you could tell they were skillful players they really struggled with the pace and physicality of the match. Granted, Phoenix is probably one of the most talented rosters in the division, but there is a huge difference between professionals in their mid-20s playing to get noticed by an MLS team and a roster full of MLS academy teenagers.
There are Minnesota teams at that and other KC tournaments every year as well. Probably fewer at the fall tournament since it conflicts with the high school state soccer tournament in Minnesota.
This is not true. When Minnesota United was an NASL team they had season ticket holders and avid fans. I didn't have season tickets but we went to a good number of games and followed the team on TV as well. I knew quite a few season ticket holders as well.
Apparently the Menace are 33-0-4 in the regular season since 2018. Does anyone know this? Do they get any media coverage?
Is there a reason to assume that coverage and interest would change if another soccer team comes to town, or if a new stadium is built?

The Menace will be that team but with paid professionals not College Kids during the summer.
They are not, they are College Kids. But the Menace will no longer exist as they are today. That Organization will be the Professional Team once they get the Stadium Built.
And that’s fine. That’s how things work. I was responding to the posters that can’t seem to stop conflating the Menace vs what this new team will be.
Gotcha, Menace games are fun but no where a Professional Game. Should be interesting to see how thus all plays out.
Good chance to see what soccer in the USA looks like right now on FS1. Fun match, good crowd (**** Austin btw), state of the art facility.
Austin has nailed their stadium atmosphere and then some. It’s too bad their owner is a complete douche canoe.
The Green lights after a goal is pretty ******* cool though. We get to see what CBus brings with their new stadium on Saturday. I’m not going to the match but I will be trolling around the bars and tailgates in the area.m
Been driving past the stadium every Sunday since it was an empty field watching the progress. CoVID was boring lol.
Des Moines was just officially awarded a USL franchise per a Pro Iowa FB post.
Not a soccer fan myself but I think it’s good for DM. maybe we can pull a USFL franchise also.
