The National Women's Soccer League said it wants to expand from 12 to 16 teams by 2026. Cleveland is one of the cities bidding for an expansion team. The decision will be finalized by the end of this year. The Cleveland Soccer Group, which is leading the effort to bring professional women's soccer to the region, recently made a deal with the Cleveland Metroparks to build a new stadium if Cleveland wins the expansion team. The stadium would be built across the street from Progressive Field and seat more than 12,000 fans. The cost projected around $150 million, would be funded in part by ownership investment and state and local funding. 

On Thursday's "Sound of Ideas," we're going to dive in to the excitement behind these efforts as well as the challenges, with a panel of expert guests.

Later, we'll hear another installment of our music podcast, "Shuffle."
