2008 MLS season
As originally written by Tony Miller:
The league's 13th season kicks off with addition of the revived San Jose Earthquakes, who play at Buck Shaw Stadium on the campus of Santa Clara University.
Kansas City moved from the Missouri side of the metro area to the Kansas side, leaving Arrowhead Stadium for CommunityAmerica Ballpark, where they moved in with the Kansas City T-Bones of baseball's independent Northern League.
Home teams listed first. Any and all help appreciated.
