This week, Major League Soccer set the fee for the next round of expansion into the league at $150 million.
Despite the high cost, Steve Malik, owner of the North Carolina Football Club — formerly known as the Carolina RailHawks — told the Triangle Business Journal that he will have a bid submitted by the Jan. 31 deadline MLS have set for the next round of expansion.
"We are geared up to respond and excited that they put out a timeline," Malik told the Journal. "We're excited to be on the list."
In the report, Malik also identified the three potential sites he hopes to build the team’s stadium on.
