MLS continues to garner strong attendance figures. Its league averages are better - or at least on par with than the NBA and NHL. However, in terms of revenues it has a way to go to still. I don't think anyone would seriously argue soccer has surpassed basketball in the USA.
Looks like the recipe has been found and soccer is finally latching on. I remember some jackass Montreal "sports" writer going off about how MLS was gonna fail - citing, if memory serves me right, the defunct NASL as proof it would fail. Of course the finance and dynamics between the two are different. In any event, he's a frivolous and vapid sorry excuse for a sports writer so fuck him).
Seattle's numbers are simply out of this world. Then again, Seattle was always a soccer
hot bed.
As for the three Canadian teams, I think the numbers are solid hovering around 19-20 000. Montreal's attendance is off from the year previous but still at capacity.
If this keeps up, it can mean more money and it can attract top flight players one day.
This is the current list of European players in MLS.
And international.
