After drawing a crowd of over 30,000 for the second time in their inaugural season, FC Cincinnati are now eagerly awaiting the attendance of one lone soccer fan to Nippert Stadium.

And not just any soccer fan, of course.

MLS Commissioner Don Garber is paying a visit to the Queen City on Nov 29 when FC Cincinnati's highly-aspirational owners will aim to show him that their club - and indeed their city - deserve a Major League Soccer team.

Garber recently announced that MLS plans to expand to 28 teams and, assuming Miami will gain the 24th spot (though this is far from a given), FC Cincinnati have quickly become one of the favourites to land one of the remaining four places.

Competition is tough, however, with Garber making recent visits to Sacramento and Detroit, and St Louis also in the reckoning.

That possibly leaves just one place to fight for - and even with expansion fees potentially rising to $200 million - FC Cincinnati, with their amazing attendances, want to show Garber why they stand out from the crowd.
