Is MLS Heading Back to the Great White North?Welcome to our new feature! Over the course of the coming week, MLS Rumors² will be grading the seven candidate cities for the next round of MLS expansion! Rather than re-hash the same old factors (ownership group, "soccer tradition", etc.) that all the other websites have already examined (yeah, we were on vacation...), we're taking a look at some factors that matter to us. Each factor is evaluated on a scale of 1-5, with 5 being teh bestest and 1 being teh suck.
First up: Ottawa!
Dining: 3 There's some good food in Ottawa, but it's no Toronto.
Entertainment: 2 Meh.
Site Seeing: 2 Look kids! Peace Tower, Junior Parliament!
"Entertainment": 4 (Rumor has it that there are some quality establishments in the area. MLS Rumors² hasn't the slightest idea what our sources were talking about, but there you have it.
Drinking: 4 Bonus point for the drinking age of 19.
Climate: 4 Remember, MLS is a summer league...where would you rather road trip to in July: Dallas, Houston, DC, or...Ottawa? Think about it.
Final Score: 19 out of a possible 30. Not bad, Ottawa...but will it be good enough? Stay tuned, folks.

I insist on an added bonus point for being able to crib from the Harvard lampoon's classic Bored of the Rings and nick-name the team The Fighting Otto-Wah!

The crest should include a Narc from Fordor or the Ballhog from the Mines of Anrdea Doria.

They should get minus points for being in the same province as a team already in the league.
And Chivas and San Jose get by on this logic because...?
Should be additional drinking points for Canadian cities for higher alcohol content.
