The more I think about it, the more I think FCC should just stay in Nippert. Good atmosphere, lots of bars and restaurants around, big college population (who are more likely to be soccer fans) on hand.
I don't think Cincinnati is going to pay $100m, and Covington/Newport just won't be the same for the fan turnout.
I can't imagine MLS is going to look at a team with constant 20k+ turnouts, with 30k+ big games, and say "no thanks, your perfectly great stadium isn't soccer specific".
