CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The city of Charlotte is expected to find out in the next few weeks whether it will become the country's 30th city with a Major League Soccer team.

Council members haven't publicly discussed a $100 million request from Panthers owner David Tepper, but our sources said a potential vote on incentives could happen before a new council is sworn in next month.
