The MLS seems to think otherwise, 3 times in a row now.

The MLS is just milking cities for free stadiums. Either use Ford Field or build a non-downtown stadium and I think they will eventually come

Given the MLS doesn't actually "own" these stadiums, they have no reason to milk cities for them as they have nothing to gain or lose from them financially.

They absolutely have something to gain from them, hence why they are prioritizing soccer specific stadiums. They want the teams to have brand new stadiums to draw crowds and money
