4/11/06 - MLS In Negotiations With Rowan
 It has been recently announced that Major League Soccer has entered into negotiations with Rowan University as the potential site for a soccer specific stadium and an MLS team. The proposed site, located on 285 acres of Rowan�s west campus in Glassboro, NJ, would play home to both Rowan athletics and an MLS team.
Utilizing the Home Depot Center as a model, Rowan�s spokesman Joe Cordona says the complex �would be unlike anything on the East coast.� When asked about the current situation, MLS commissioner Don Garber said, �We are excited both by the possibility of helping Rowan extend its education opportunities, and by the prospect of having a new stadium ready for an MLS team as early as 2009.�
It has not been determined whether the MLS team playing at Rowan would be an expansion team or a team relocated from another area, but it has been determined that the addition of a soccer specific complex would be a great addition to Rowan University, the MLS, United States soccer, and D3 soccer.
