Wow, you are running 180 degrees from the way the conversation has been.
I don't think your proposal would even be considered.
Matter of fact, it sounds like a way to
kill soccer for Detroit.
The point is that Detroit should be a candidate for an expansion franchise which I read has a 2020 time line. [[I believe
USA Today indicated that the MLS wanted to expand from 20 --> 24 in 2020).
EDIT: Here is the article.

In order to get a MLS franchise Detroit would need a 20K stadium, ideally in a downtown location.
In order for this to happen, Detroit would need to be well along with a new arena and then able to see what it can do to help a potential owner/franchisee get a stadium/franchise.
Plans for a new soccer stadium would need to be on the table by say 2016 or 17.
