Once the Phantoms are proven to be a successful commodity in Allentown, the Queen City needs to get moving on acquiring an MLS franchise. With today’s announcement that PPL Corp. has purchased the naming rights to the Phantoms’ home arena and event center, let’s help PPL name another soccer stadium in Pennsylvania…this one much closer to home. Thank you, General Trexler.
What to call an MLS team in Allentown? Some suggestions:
The Lehigh Valley Queen City Kings
The Allentown Americas (sometimes styled as Las Americas)
The Allentown Metropolitans
The Allentown Generals
Pennsylvania Power and Light.

Las Americas would drive the newspaper commenter set crazy, but I would love it
