El Paso is not alone in the pursuit of an MLS expansion franchise. In fact, Minneapolis, St. Louis, Sacramento, Las Vegas, Austin, and San Antonio have all been linked to an MLS expansion team. Ledford knows that El Paso will have plenty of stiff competition from major cities that have lower level professional franchises.
