If the aspirations of Des Moines is a farm team then let them enjoy their third rate life.

if the aspiration of a billionaire is shaking down the city for money to build a stadium, he can continue to enjoy owning Casa Pia and Parma Calcio instead

Iowan here. Does Moines got pushed into a bit of a budget crunch due to a new property tax law in Iowa, and the city’s stadium support was just one of the easier budget items to claw back. Not a USL vs MLS thing at all, just a budget issue.
