MLS Expansion: Montreal 19th City? Becks Has Option for 20th Team

ADVERTISEMENTS
In interviews on the sidelines of the MLS Cup over the weekend, MLS Commissioner Don Garber confirmed what many felt was obvious following the last expansion round: Montreal is the likely destination for the 19th MLS city.  Entry into Montreal isn't likely until 2012, but Montreal must first get a stadium built.  

Potential owner Joey Saputo, owner of the NHL Ottawa Senators, has a second division team playing in 15,000 seat Saputo Stadium.  He and MLS are working on a stadium renovation and expansion deal with the city and province and assuming that is worked timely worked out, expect Montreal in 2012.  

Beckham may also be joining in 2012 with the 20th team.  His current contract grants him an option for a team upon his retirement from playing with the Galaxy, which,this weekend, he said  that he plans to exercise.  He is currently looking at potential cities and refused to name them.  Montreal is not one of them however.  Don't be surprised if he gets involved in a second team in the New York area, which has been on Garber's agenda for some time.
