San Antonio also built the Alamo Dome to attract an NFL team. That's not a goal of Memphis.

Memphis should pursue an MLS team. If done right, I believe that it would be extremely successful. Memphis is in that sweet spot size that the MLS should be targeting. (Mid-sized city with no NFL team)
If the MLS targeted cities like Birmingham, Memphis, OKC, Portland, etc. they would be a lot more successful than competing for people's time in large cities with multiple pro franchises.
