This is a little worrying to me; I like the idea of pro-rel, but I question whether it can be translated into the U.S. soccer landscape. If nothing else, it will be interesting!

I'm betting there will be an "American capitalistic feature" to the Pro/Rel, such as insurance from being relegated if the club owns its own soccer-specific facility that reliably draws massive crowds and shows decent on-field quality. That is the only way to reassure future investors that their investments won't be swiftly jeopardized due to immediate relegation.
