Are the New York Cosmos ready to go big time?
Team Owner Says Brooklyn’s Big Enough for an MLS Franchise
A third Major League Soccer (MLS) franchise could be coming to New York City if New York Cosmos owner Rocco B. Commisso has his way.
On Tuesday, the Cosmos hosted a media day at 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge where Commisso, along with Head Coach Giovanni Savarese, fielded questions from reporters.
Commisso articulated his desire to leave his mark on the Cosmos by having the team one day join MLS. He also criticized the current format of American professional soccer, saying the country should adopt a promotion/relegation system, similar to what is used in European leagues.
