He hasn't contacted MLS, they have no 'plans' for a team in Detroit, and the stadium isn't really appropriate. And he has no experience or history in pro sports of any kind. And likely not enough cash.
Under his terms I am making my back yard into an NHL stadium. And getting a team shortly.

Oh, don't get me wrong, I knew he couldn't get what he was claiming (they've all but locked in all 20 teams for the MLS). I thought I had read that he owned/ran/was associated with a USL level team out there, and that he had contact with one of the local colleges. Of course, that contact might have been:
Guy: "Hey school, wanna play your soccer games in the Silverdome?"
School: "Sure!"
Guy: "OK, I'll make that happen for ya, because I'm that kinda guy."
