Merge? I don't think anyone advocates that. It is not news that some call for closer relationships between the two however. Some MISL teams have been able to attract MLS players (Former Revs Start Johnny Torres forexample, who is now a major force with the Milwaukee Wave) but the other pro soccer leagues have usually had better relationships with MISL than MLS has.

I think it would definately have to be on a case by case and team by team basis, and in some cases rivalries and business interests are too disperate for it to work. Chicago Storm has an outdoor team that competes against the Chicago Fire Premier and Fire Juniors, for example.

I still haven't figured out what makes up the "typical" MISL fanbase either, it seems to vary a great deal from city to city.
