TOP 3 Canidates for Ownership that live in Baltimore

#1 - Ed Hale (1st Mariner Bank/Baltimore Blast) - This is in all likely hood the only man for the job of bringing an MLS franchise to Baltimore. With all the money he has put into the Blast it should be a now brainer to build a Soccer Specific Stadium (SSS) with multiple fields around the stadium. Mr. Hale could make money by letting soccer leagues use the fields, renting the stadium for championship matches, have concerts inside the stadium. Also, Mr. Hale could build condo's, townhouse, single family homes, and retail space. It could go alone with his revilization efforts along Boston Street


#2 - Kevin Plank (Under Armour) - Great way to expand the UA brand and promote the soccer line. One BIG problem is the league is locked into a deal with Adidas. Unless KP could cut a deal with the league and Adidas to let his team be dressed in UA gear the best bet for a soccer team owned by Mr. Plank would be in the A-League.


#3 - Cal Ripken Jr. (Ripken Baseball) - Cal could expand his baseball empire into soccer. He could be the owner that could take soccer mainstream. Cal's presence would bring in big sponsors and other big-time ownership partners. Possibly, a HALE/RIPKEN ownership group.
