To name a few things:

*How to land a MLS team

*Road maintenance

1) MLS is the equivalent of AA baseball, at best, on the world stage. It's where washed up stars go to play among guys not good enough for the majors. Not having a team is not loss.

2) Denver and Nashville do not have the road destroying climate we have here. Yes the state is terrible about fixing roads but it's also a much bigger problem here than southern places. And, to be fair, the roads in Detroit proper have been improved more in the past 3-4 years than they were in the 20 before that in my observation.

Denver isn't "southern places." It averages nearly as much snow as Detroit and arguably has a worse freeze/thaw cycle.

Denver does not have the same extreme winter temperatures we get here. The coldest month there [[December) has average highs of 47. Detroit has 5 months colder than that. It snows there and then melts immediately. It is not remotely the same climate.

It snows there and then melts immediately.

That's a bit of an exaggeration.

Either way, you just further proved my point about the "vicious freeze-thaw cycles" in Denver, as the recent article details.

Yet, they still manage to have better road quality than Detroit.

The ground doesn't freeze unless there are extended time periods below freezing. That rarely happens in Denver. Snow on the ground does not equal frozen ground.

Soil? Maybe not.

Surfaces [[including roads)? They absolutely can without an extended period of time below freezing, as they do in Denver [[or do you take issue with the news article I posted?)
