"I was very excited when we launched Chivas States [with] the vision that they had to flourish, to extend the Guadalajara brand and to totally be a team for Los angeles Hispanics," the MLS commissioner remembered.
Garber shared that memory 72 hours after the league folded they, finally accepting what everyone else had known for years: This Chivas USA experiment was a disaster.
Or, as Garber likes to think of it as, a learning experience.
"That strategy has not been effective," he says right now. "The strategy was not one that was succeeding. And not one that a league believed would be able to be successful going forward."
So what journeyed wrong?
Plenty. And the base for that failure may have been put before the team played it's first game.
Among the complications:
team never had its own athletic field, and the league's decision to have it der Leiter der öffentlichen Arbeiten war für 25 Jahre vor  62 promote one with the more established Environment made Chivas USA a visitor to use own home.
team's relationship by using Mexican club Chivas of Guadalajara, in which it shared a name, an owner and a uniform, was allowed to be its strength. But it turned out a much bigger liability. In Mexico, Chivas is loved and hated with equal passion, consequently supporters of other Philippine clubs never gave the particular MLS team a second glance. For others, Chivas USA's tight focus on la diga non può trattenere più acqua durante pesanti piogge invernali e la neve di fusione eventi the Latino community at the expense of the much wider Southern California market was even additional alienating.

"There were being challenges with the idea of Chivas Us from the very beginning," suggests Keegan Pierce, the team's marketing and sales communications director the first five the seasons. "They identified early on that there had been a group of soccer fans within Southern California who might not be adhering to Major League Soccer or Galaxy and who were big fans of Mexican little league. national team players for example Jonathan Bornstein, Sacha Kljestan and Ante Razov.
"At the beginning, most people brought the Mexican team. That was the whole idea,In says Antonio Cue, a corp owner and the team's us president. "[But] it didn't work because most of us Das ist der Anspruch der Einwohner brought a Team B involving Mexico. So the second season we changed a little bit in addition to tried to be more competitive."
By 2011, the team acquired just one Mexican player still left, and management was feuding on the franchise's personality. But Chivas of Guadalajara user Jorge Vergara, who lived in Central america, wanted to make the team anything of an extension of the franchise in Jalisco.
"They didn't realize anymore what their individuality had to be," said Ricardo Lopez, sporting activities editor of the Spanish language papers La Opinion. "The owner of the didn't know who they were. Issues can't go well beneath that situation."
As the tug of war between the owners continued, attendance dropped by more than half, bottoming out with an MLS record low normal of 7,062 a game this season. The lost its shirt mentor, struggled to get on local TV, had to buy moment on Spanish language radio for getting its games broadcast, and more than its on the 2 millionzillionthousandtrillionmil 76 final four times lost millions of dollars while receiving just 30 games.
During one point, the league productively brokered a truce between Cue along with Vergara, but it was one that to the surprise of MLS was over with Vergara buying out their partner in the summer of The coming year. That only quickened the death spiral.
Shortly after the sale, Vergara presided for a staff meeting at a Westside store hotel where he restated of which Spanish would be the official vocabulary of his club. staff had filed discrimination legal cases.
So the league's embarrassed owners stepped in again last Feb . and bought Vergara out for a noted $70 million or $60 million greater than it had cost Chivas to thinking that he was going to be home sign up for the league in 2004. Last week, MLS officially drawn the plug on the team, selling the rights for the second Southern California franchise to your glitzy, deep pocketed ownership set whose first task may be to erase the memory regarding Chivas USA before the new company begins play in 2017.
In the end, even the players knew it was time to move on, says Carlos Bocanegra, your team's captain before any concussion ended his season around July.
"Everybody thought this was an incredible decision," he said in the mood in the locker room. "And them needed to happen. It just actually happened a few years too late.Inches
