Taking a bit of a tangent from doing more states in my US State Soccer Leagues universe to do a quick box on the first American Championship. It's been mentioned once of twice in some of the state boxes, but I've slowly been working out how I want the format to be and thought a look at the early...

Next up, Montana. Turner Bison SC is one of the clubs owned by Ted Turner. He owns a few clubs in various states and at least one more will come up in a later box. I did consider not splitting the Montana league and maybe having it be on a summer schedule or something, but with doing these...

Now that I've done a couple more small leagues, time to return to a bigger league. In fact now we go to the second entry in the Big Six, Ohio! The notes: I felt like the major top flight teams should be fairly evenly divided between Cincinnati, Columbus, and Cleveland. A few of the teams are...

Next up in the state soccer leagues, Delaware. This one was actually a bit trickier to do because there's just not that much in Delaware.

I couldn't decide between the Labor Department's Mine Health and Safety Administration or the Interior Department's Mining Enforcement and Safety Administration. So I had the team be from both. :D EDIT: Which I now realize the MESA was the predecessor to the MSHA because apparently wiki doesn't...

Finally did another entry in my US state soccer league world. Washington, DC!

I had an idea for something in my American state soccer leagues universe.

I had a random idea.

Continuing the state soccer leagues, Wisconsin. Some notes A few more mining-based teams in Wisconsin. Like with Galena Desloge in Missouri, Galena Platteville comes from the lead mining in this region, in the Driftless Area. This is also where the Badgers name comes from for La Crosse, as...

Next up, Connecticut! You might argue that I overdid the number of Portuguese American clubs, but two of the three are real. Bridgeport Vasco da Gama was founded in the 1940s, and Danbury Lusitania is a version of the OTL Danbury United, founded by the Portuguese Cultural Center there. The...

They probably made some half-hearted attempts at recognition in the 90s and 00s, but since the whole Conch Republic thing quickly turned into more of a tourism gimmick it would be more for the publicity than anything serious.

Another state done, Florida! A few things of note: Plant Field is what is now Pepin Stadium at the University of Tampa. Originally built in 1899 by Henry Plant, it had been used for decades for minor league games. In OTL the stadium was transferred to the neighboring University of Tampa in...

Another state finished.

:D That's one of the reasons I usually don't worry too much about purple links while making boxes, it does add a bit more realism IMO to pepper in a few. Here for the club names they mostly ended up being the St. Louis clubs that existed in OTL. Interesting ting I found, St. Louis Kutis actually...

Continuing the American state soccer league system thing I've been brainstorming. This time one of the more established states, Missouri.
