I'm incredibly excited
MLS? Couldn't care less
2015 Looks Like a turning point
Slow and steady wins the race
I'm hyped for MLS every year!

I wouldn't say this is the turning point but we are getting to the point of relevance in the North American sports landscape. That said, I am so stoked.

Pumped as always, but doubt there's some astronomical leap forward this year.

I just hope the season starts on-time. This could be a huge one. Two decades of slow growth seems to finally be paying off *knocks on wood*

It will be the best MLS Season in there history. First, we have 2 new teams. Second, we have a huge player pool. Third we have a great reserve league, usl, Nasl, pdl teams. Last, MLS will have two new teams next year.
MLS is great.

Gonna be very, very hard to top last season. But, I look forward to change. Go Galaxy!

This may just be the best season yet, if the CBA can be agreed upon.

While the West will continue to be dominated by 2 teams, the East is going to be an all-out brawl*, and I love it
*Assuming we play at all, get your act together Don!

Sebastian Giovinco is the least exciting DP of the offseason. How far we have come.

Sebastian Giovinco is a huge move for the MLS

Fun league that surprises every year. Good place for players to grow.

Kaka, Villa, Lampard (maybe?), Gerrard, Giovinco, Mix, Jozy, Shea, Cubo, full season of JJ, healthy MB, tons of young South Americans, two new teams...this should be one of the greatest seasons ever. Just hope there's no work stoppage!

Probably going to be the best season yet. New teams, stadiums, players and the best amount of quality the league has ever seen. Its going to be fun.

Looking forward to it

This will be awesome!

This season should be exciting

With the additions of Giovinco, Diskerud, Kljestian, Altidore, and many others, I feel MLS is going to turn the corner this season. The fact that Jurgen essentially called out the top league in the country he coaches last season was a stark wake up call, and I think he's going to be proven wrong this year

Matthew
I really can't wait - lots more competition = better quality and better product on the field.

Just a little more coverage on SportsCenter please...

Probably the season I'm most looking forward to since 1998.

Need Free Agency, but level of talent should make for an exciting campaign
—

Things are looking like MLS may finally start realizing the potential that longtime fans have been waiting for. Very exciting times in MLS.

Expect the league to be competitive, competent, entertaining and visible to more casual soccet fans.

Giovinco coming is huge. Not just a retirement league. Also I think Defoe leaving and scoring a couple for Sunderland demonstrates that also. Really excited to see Kaka and David Villa play for their new clubs.
—
Alex
There's a reason to be excited about every team. I'll watch more games than ever this season.
—
@lafcpodcast
Absolute turning point. Competitiveness, standard of play, star power have all been hugely upgraded. If they figure out this whole CBA thing, MLS could set the foundation to become a very strong league in the world.
—
Christopher Kerr
I think the league has too many teams and that talent in the mls is becoming diluted

I am really looking forward to the season but we have to get this CBA figured out first.

i am excited for the season to start. I actually wish the season were longer but I understand the challenges with weather etc. for the northern teams. The slow steady growth of MLS should pay off. Nice to see big name players choose MLS before they're in the twilight of their career. Should be a great year. The new CBA should fix some of the current issues MLS faces.

really excited for the incoming teams this is going to be great year. #PTFC

Looking forward to seeing the East this year, since only New England looks dominant.

I'm excited and optimistic but I don't think we should get ahead of ourselves. Gerrard and Lampard are good but once more its over the hill stars coming to the retirement league MLS. When we draw top names in the their prime I'll get excited.
—
Beth
Next 3 years will have as many changes as last 6 years in the right direction.
—
Bill Kennedy
Could be a great season with all of the big names in the off season. Two concerns for me are of course the CBA and how the Red Bulls will do with their new regime. If they sink to the bottom of the league, supporters will be calling for blood.

Should be a good year.

It's going to be brutally epic!

More excited than ever to watch MLS. The quality has gotten MUCH better in the last couple years. I actually enjoyed watching the Sounders and the Crew.

As an RBNY fan, I can't be TOO excited, but yeah, I'm ready.

There's no need for "arrival". Just keep doing what you're doing. As for the 2015 season, I'm excited, but it's still a ways out. Waiting for rosters to solidify, then we'll see.
—

The new TV deals will be the biggest thing for MLS this year. Much more national exposure and with more top class names for marketing to have fun with.
—
Sage
THe league is getting better no doubt. Will be happy to see the US internationals here, think it'll be a good season.
—

I think it's a big year...but really it'll be decided when the ink dries on the new CBA. Nothing that happens this season is as important as that.
—
Lucas Smith
if they get free agency approved...
—

Starting to sound like it is likely to be delayed unless the players and league come to terms on a new CBA. Can't get excited until I know there is going to be a season!
