They also now get quite a few fans traveling to away games with the close proximity. In many ways the regionalized league may not be quite as glamorous but makes a lot more sense financially, especially at D3.
I would like to see MLS Reserve included in NASL. You could have more regional play to reduce travel costs. From there you can provide stability.

BQ posted this earlier today on facebook and I was waiting for him to post it in here. Never saw it come around and this may be old news to some, but I haven't heard any of this, so here it is.

I would like to see the integration of the MLS reserves into the league as a move for expansion.
