2004 MLS season
As originally written by Tony Miller:
We continue our series of running this up the flagpole and seeing who salutes.
Major League Soccer's ninth season. Same 10 teams. Same 10 cities. Same TV contracts with ABC-ESPN, Fox Sports World and HDNet.
Fox Sports World changed its name to Fox Soccer Channel on March 27, 2005, so this was the final season on FSW under that name.
The Dallas Burn move back to the Cotton Bowl after a single season at Dragon Stadium.
Home team listed first.
