List Of Major League Soccer Stadiums
Major League Soccer (MLS) is the premier professional soccer league in the United States and Canada. As of 2012, it consists of 19 teams—16 in the United States and 3 in Canada. The league uses 18 stadiums, with the Los Angeles Galaxy and Chivas USA sharing The Home Depot Center. From the inauguration in 1996, MLS teams used multi-purpose stadiums, often shared with National Football League (NFL) or college football teams. Because of lower attendance, these stadiums had parts tarped off to artificially reduce capacity. Starting in 1999 with the construction of Columbus Crew Stadium, the league has constructed soccer-specific stadiums which are tailor-made for soccer and which have smaller capacity.
