In December, MLS owners will gather in New York City and announce the winners of two expansion bids. Sacramento, Nashville, and Cincinnati have been mentioned as front runners for those slots. FC Cincinnati president and general manager Jeff Berding says the team would need a soccer-specific stadium to land a bid. Berding said the team would 100 percent privately fund the stadium, but is asking the city and Hamilton County to help with infrastructure needs (possibly at a site in Oakley).
