NCFC Soccer is dissolving at the end of the season

This is the professional men's team that plays in Cary. They are hoping to reform as a new franchise in the brand new USL Division One. To get a franchise, they will need to get a deal for a new stadium as the current one isn't big enough.

This new league is hoping to compete head to head with MLS and provide a relegation and promotion system in 2028.

If they can get the money for a few big names, with the World Cup bump, and a promotion/relegation system, I think the league can get a decent TV deal.

Not sure if the local team can get a stadium deal. They tried a few years back and Raleigh didn't want to pony up the money. As a tax payer, I appreciate that. The team could probably play at one of the local Universities but then I'm not sure if the economics work.
