MLS All-Star coach supports Indy's expansion push

Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett and other city officials are expected to arrive in Columbus on Tuesday as part of an ongoing push to secure an MLS expansion team.

Why it matters: They've got at least one high-profile supporter in Nancy.

Driving the news: During a press conference Monday, we asked Nancy what he thinks about the league potentially expanding (to Indy, or elsewhere).

What's he saying: Not only does he love it, Nancy said he's seen the league grow and develop over the past decade, from facilities and style of play to a grander vision for Major League Soccer.

• "With more teams, it's going to be more competitive," he said. "I think this is good.
• "The most important thing for me is to have a vision and if each club has a clear vision about the way they want to do things and why they want to do it, I'm happy because this is something new and this is good for the league."

What we're watching: MLS Commissioner Don Garber is scheduled to hold a mid-season press conference Wednesday, where we will ask him about the league's expansion plans.
