And the defending Open Cup champion should have the option to take on the “burden” of playing an extra 3-4 games to defend their championship.

From our 2023 qualifying preview: Last year’s final round match between Washington AC (Seattle, WA) & Las Vegas Legends (Las Vegas, NV) would have clocked in at 1,314 Mi., but Las Vegas forfeited

I always wonder how much bigger the non-MLS pro landscape would be if clubs 30 years ago had today's support

I’ve made the joke before, but I believe we are living through the beginning of Idiocracy. Uneducated twits get elected to these positions because their voting base is largely under educated and votes like it’s a popularity contest.

Read this morning that Kim-Jong Trump is gonna roll out another "travel ban" list. Iran is in the main group and they're almost a lock to qualify for next year. Then of course we have the Club World Cup this summer, wonder if he'll let the North African teams in.

If they want to stay outdoors, I'd say join the UPSL. It'll allow the club to ease back into existence in a short spring & fall season with a regional schedule, rather than jumping right into a full-on national travel schedule.
