So New York, Orlando, Las Vegas, or Detroit. If NYC looses out, I want Detroit the most, but really would like all of these.

The Tampa Bay Mutiny and Miami Fusion F.C. were so FTL.

Vegas would be shit in every aspect except for the visiting fans and teams (especially if their team wins).
Orlando is probably the most stable across the board of all the groups discussed.
NYC2 seems to be a bit more pushed than real, if that makes sense. The league wants it there, so they're helping out in the under the table kind of ways--but that doesn't make it real. The Burrough Boys are organised and waiting--as long is NYC2 isn't the Cosmos; and I think that is part of the problem.
Detroit as an option is intriguing, but not strong. The ownership owns the Silverdome and wants to retrofit it--but that is a HUGE cavern for an MLS team....let alone an MLS team in a questionable market. Their organised fans (the Motor City something-or-others) are about 15-20 at most, so they aren't dazzling anyone there. The rest of the finances would have to be demonstrated more concretely than I think they have (although, to be fair, I am not privvy to that info) in order for them to get a solid nod.
At this point, if NYC2 doesn't happen, expect Orlando.

I'd be fine with Orlando, fill in the hole in the Southeast.
