According to Major League Soccer, the designated player rule allows clubs to acquire up to three players whose total compensations and acquisition costs exceed the maximum salary budget.
"We have one designated player, Karol Swiderski a polish international player. We are super excited about him. He is going to be our goal scorer on the roaster," McIntosh said.
McIntosh told us they plan to build out their roaster and intend to sign a couple more designated players in the future.

THE QUESTION:
Will all the seats in the stadium be available during the season?
The home opener will be your only chance to experience the nosebleeds this season.
"This will be the only match on Saturday that we open the upper bowl," said McIntosh.
McIntosh tells us the lower bowl, meaning the 300 section and down will be open for all the games.
THE ANSWER:
No, all the seats in the stadium will not be available during the season.
Saturday, Charlotte FC hopes to break a major league soccer record with 74,000 plus fans at an opening game.
