Can't really be soccer hooligans there.

I think Charlotte/Atlanta will be added at the same time at some point, but I don't think it'll be this round of realignment. I think they put teams in Miami, Orlando, Indianapolis and Saint Louis.

Cary > Charlotte

You are more than entitled to your opinion, but I lived in the Triangle for 20 years, and have lived in Charlotte for the last several. Charlotte is much more soccer crazed than Raleigh/Durham. There is a larger international population, and the local population seems to love it just as much. I would love a team in either spot though. I think both areas could be great at some point, and I would surely be a fan. I think Cary would probably have an easier time finding an owner.

Cary has the better infrastructure (WakeMed, Carolina Railhawks has a history of success, etc)
