It’s a Friday and we are looking towards the future here on Morning Kickaround. We start with the fun stuff and update on the USL’s first division efforts courtesy of league president Paul McDonough himself. The big man went on Tim Howard and Landon Donovan’s podcast to talk about his first division project, including the future of promotion and relegation, the pursuit of changes to U.S. Soccer’s Professional League Standards, and more. We stay on the plus side of things with Soccer Under Construction in Phoenix. Phoenix Rising have released new renderings for a very impressive stadium with their eyes on the USL Premier League. There is also stadium news out of the southern tip of Texas as the city of Brownsville is also looking to erect a stadium and get themselves a USL franchise. With all the good must come the bad, however. Santa Barbara Sky, the long planned USL Championship expansion side, appears to be dead on the California coast. There is also no good news coming out of the corn fields of Des Moines, Iowa. Finally, we #DotTheMap with the newest MK Ultras.
