I agree. Every single MLS game I’ve been to has been either sold out or close.

You have 2 hours of non-stop, commercial-free action versus a 4 hour mess of commercials, sideline reporting nonsense, and 2 second plays.

The math just doesn’t work anymore for the NFL.

When I visited a friend recently in Atlanta, we went to an Atlanta United game at Bobby Dodd Stadium, it was sold out with 45,000 fans, and they were loud. Pretty good for a first-year team.

Also, FC Cincinnati, which isn't even in the MLS, has made it to the Semi-Finals of the US Open Cup, and they've had huge crowds to their games.

The MLS, IMO, is making a big mistake in continuing to expand.

The rosters are already watered-down as it is, and the MLS won’t be taken seriously, until we can start beating Liga MX teams in the CONCACAF Champions League on a consistent basis.
