There's trouble a-brewin' in the USL. The MLS owners and independent USL owners are at odds and Orlando City is in the middle. But what is the best solution?
Like every other reserve team in the world, MLS-owned USL teams draw very few fans for games. In fact, nine of the bottom 11 teams in USL attendance are MLS-owned. This is upsetting to the independent USL team owners who want those teams to move into different markets with separate owners to raise attendance.
The idea is that MLS-owned USL teams should go the hybrid route pioneered by the Houston Dynamo.
