Detroit Eyes MLS Expansion Bid While Hosting Gold Cup

A crowd of 25,000 is expected to be at the Ford Field in Detroit for the Gold Cup match between the US and Canada tonight. While the crowd number sounds pretty good, the owners of the facility have a bigger goal in mind from hosting this big match in the Gold Cup.

According to MLive.com, Triple Sports & Entertainment, the new owners of the Silverdome, have plans to bring a Major League Soccer expansion team to the newly-resurrected facility.
