If you had to take a guess... I'd go 24.

Seems a bit early to make any estimates for expansion? How many teams now? Attendance? Market saturation?

We know New York will be #20, while #21 and #22 and so on could be any of Atlanta, Carolina, Las Vegas, Miami, Minnesota, Orlando, San Antonio, Tampa Bay, etc. I'd also expect Milwaukee, St. Louis, or even Indianapolis to get consideration due to the lack of Midwest teams.
First priority should be Southeast, huge void there.

We need in keep increasing the average attendance each year. So the league's goal is 19,000+ avearge in 2013 that would be 6,137,000, that would mean an increaseof 62,271 from 2012.
I believe that we will get a 19,000+ average in 2013..........
New York 2016
Florida team 2017 or 2018
Southwest team 2018 or 2019
Midwest team 2019 or 2020
West coast team 2020 or 2021
So I'll go with 24 teams in 2022....

Sounds good, so NY2 2016, Orlando 2017/2018, Phoenix 2018/2019, Minnesota 2019/2020, Sacramento 2020/2021 kinda matches your suggestions

Minnesota stadium seems more likely than St. Louis though, although I'd prefer it be STL

You're going to need a SSS in order to get a team........I don't think Garber or the league wants any teams playing in football stadiums.....So either have or build a SSS or you're not getting into the league...No matter how good the soccer/football stadium deal it is....

It depends on if it can have the appearance of an SSS or not... hence Seattle and Vancouver playing in NFL and CFL stadiums.

Seattle works, well because they get 39,000+ every game. Vancouver does a good job but not even close to what Seattle does. If Minnesota would get a team do you think they would get 20,000+ every game. It would be a disaster if they got New England size crowds in a 70,000+ stadium. I would rather have the new teams that wants to join the league have a SSS in place...
If Minnesota could get Seattle type season ticket numbers, then bring them in. But I don't think any city is going to get even half that amount, that's why a 20,000-25,000 SSS is the perfect size with future expansion if needed.
