Fun facts about MLS

Average attendance: 15,000
Average TV audience:
- on ABC: 1,000,000
- on ESPN2: 200,000

Average Adu game attendance: 22,000
Average Adu game TV audience:
- on ABC: 1,400,000
- on ESPN2: 350,000

MLS average attendance is almost 5 times as large as A-League (Division 2) attendance and almost 20 times as large as Division 3 attendance.

Ticket prices range from $10 to $50, depending on team and seating location. Kansas City I think has the cheapest tickets, averaging around $15. Most expensive tickets are either LA, Chicago or the MetroStars - those cost on average about double what KC tickets cost.

How popular is it in the US? Are all the matches no regular TV? How are the attendances? I noticed there are 10 teams (2 more coming in 2005).

Why don't they add more teams like Canadian ones (similar to how NHL has Canadian and US teams). I think this would be great!

How much does it cost to see a regular MLS game?

Goto www.mlsnet.com and see for yourself the attendances. They are quite ordinary but then again football is never a dominating sport in the US. I have only watched one game on TV on ESPN between DC United v Chicago DC 0 v Chicago 3 In Chicago earlier on this season. I live in Australia so watchin g that was a rare occasion! :p I follow DC United but not passionately. Just as an interest thing. I won't buy their kit until they have sponsors on it. It looks like a training kit!

DeRosario is a Canadian international BTW...

If that happens then Garber should just walk around in a Chivas jersey for the rest of his life (H)
