The teams are popular and profitable on a local level, so there will be more of them
The problem with TV is that there are four leagues with huge TV coverage that are better (EPL, Mexican League, La Liga, Bundesliga) |

Date: June 18th, 2017 9:05 PM Author: Libs died. 180! Here you go. Most teams turn a real profit or a tiny loss. The issue is that the league has significant issues and ultra-lucrative tv deals have not materialized. MLS may have to go OTT. NYC, Chicago, and Toronto are the only teams who lost more than $5 mil and could be lots of reasons for that.

Work backwards from there. |

Date: June 18th, 2017 9:09 PM Author: xo shapovalov League seems to be pretty healthy. Gates are good. As long as they have that it's not going anywhere. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3579074&forum_id=2#33589402) |
|
Date: June 18th, 2017 9:12 PM Author: blisss Just not gaining traction in TV. Newer teams are buoying gate numbers league wide, most of the original teams are struggling in that department. Think the lack of a very recent World Cup has hurt both gate and TV this year. But I agree the league is pretty healthy for a US soccer league (NASLOL?) and it's here to stay. Going to cash in big in the 2026 USA/Mex/Canada WC. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3579074&forum_id=2#33589413) |

EPL ratings in the US were also down this year, probably because the average fan isn't as aware of soccer three years after the last World Cup. Russia next year should help |

Date: June 18th, 2017 9:20 PM Author: xo shapovalov Its definitely been improving in quality as well. I watch regularly now because my team (TFC) is killing it. Compared to even five years ago the players are much better overall and the best players are better. Better players seem to be coming over and a few years earlier in their careers than they used to. And clubs are slowly starting to develop and sell off their own talent.
It'll be a major milestone when MLS teams are winning CONCACAF Champion's League consistently and that's just past the horizon.
Once europhiles and Mexicans get over their prejudice toward the league it'll be golden. |

Date: June 18th, 2017 10:33 PM Author: Frank Lloyd Wrong Lol actually MLS was better in the late 90s. DC United and LA Galaxy won the concacaf champions league back then (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3579074&forum_id=2#33590108) |

Date: June 19th, 2017 10:17 AM Author: xo shapovalov it was the "champions cup", and it only had eight teams. and you would only play four games max including the final. also the winner didn't go on to the world club cup until 2005. they killed that and introduced the the champions league in 2008 with 16 teams. now its harder to win, there's a group stage, home and aways, and liga mx teams put more effort in to it.

MLS is almost entirely about going in person. |
