A summary of each bid is at the MLS website. The cities competing are Charlotte, Nashville, Indianapolis, Detroit, Phoenix, St. Louis, Raleigh/Durham, San Antonio, Sacramento, Cincinnati, Tampa Bay/St. Petersburg and San Diego. All have at least one team in the other four major sports. St. Louis and Tampa Bay had teams in the old North American Soccer League.
