No major surprises here for Crown Legacy. Dylan Sing has been a big contributor and led the team in goals this season though. He should land somewhere in USL imo.

Iβm a fan of this new award. There is always one player who really breaks through to MLS and has an out-sized impact, so itβs a great idea to really showcase those stories each season.
Huntsville City FC midfielder Alan Carleton has been named to the MLS NEXT Pro 2025 Best XI after a standout season, scoring 23 goals and adding eight assists while becoming the first Huntsville player to appear in an MLS match for Nashville SC.

Always avoid AI in production. The negative feedback isnβt worth whatever money you saved by using it.
These are not the stadium renderings just fyi. They said those will come later. This is just a random image on their website.
(AI Slop still sucks and no team should use it)
π€¦ββοΈ Fred Popp (part of the ownership/leadership) literally started and ran a sports-focused design studio at one point. What are we doing.
The rest of their design and website was well done at least (and avoided AI lol)
Not 100% clear at the moment. I was hoping Zaratin would make a quick comment about the RRs but I didnβt catch anything. I wouldnβt expect any major changes though.
