Major League Soccer is in the final stages of adding Charlotte as the next destination to receive a franchise, Commissioner Don Garber said Thursday.
Major League Soccer authorized its expansion committee to enter final negotiations with billionaire hedge fund manager David Tepper to bring the league's 30th franchise to Charlotte.
Billionaire hedge fund manager David Tepper, who also owns the Carolina Panthers, led the presentation in front MLS officials, including deputy commissioner Mark Abbott, one of the key figures on the league's expansion committee. Garber said board members were impressed by Tepper and are authorizing the committee to finalize negotiations.
One of the issues that need to be addressed at the 75,000-plus seat football stadium is figuring out how to conceal seats, especially near the top of the facility. MLS doesn't expect to draw as many fans consistently to the stadium and doesn't want extra seats showing during broadcasts.
