What other cities will they expand to?
RODRIGUEZ: Obviously one of the hottest topics with the USL is expansion. You just announced a team, FC Cincinnati, this week to go along with Rio Grande Valley FC. In another interview, you said the expansion slate for next year is set, its just a matter of making the announcements. Is there anything you can tell us about the total number of teams entering or provide a timetable on upcoming announcements for next year?
EDWARDS: Its an exciting time. Certainly there are lots of fantastic markets that are coming into the USL over the next year or two, and more beyond that. You are correct, we had an expansion window that closed in our media meetings in Denver at the [MLS] All-Star Game, and all those new clubs for next season were there, introduced to our teams.
We have announced two of those clubs, and there are a couple more to be announced over the next month or so. I wont give you the exact figure, but well be very close to 30 teams.
