"The season ticket sales at Toronto FC have already exceeded that of any other MLS franchise. With the total season tickets purchased for 2007 now above 12,000, their has now been a cap set on the total number of tickets to be sold for the year. MLSU has learned that cap will be somewhere between 13,000 and 13,500. In all likelihood, Toronto will sell all of its year long packages by the end of February."
All I can say is "wow", that crushes the Toronto Raptors season ticket sales... I don't care what anyone says, TFC is already a success and they haven't even hit the field officially yet. MLS has to start thinking about expanding to Montreal too, afterall that's arguably Canada's main soccer city based on the popularity of the Impact.
Things are looking up for MLS

pasion1;2280885 said:I agree, except that Toronto ACTUALLY has a **** load of soccer fans while when the Raps came people were just becoming interested in it through the hype. ((And the Raptors have proven to have a solid fan base and are extremely popular in toronto, even if our history is kinda ****))
A more likely blockbuster announcement from MLS is the jersey sponsorship for David Beckham's Los Angeles Galaxy. Two sources have confirmed that the bidding is down to Citibank and Herbalife (and, interestingly, not Beckham sponsor adidas). The Citibank offer to have its name across the front of Galaxy shirt, the sources said, is a monster: five years, $49 million. A decision is expected any day.

You can do two stages, take off a month in the middle. Just start in March instead of April. In this case that month would be June.
And that is a ****load of money.

Maple Leaf Co is pretty much blown away by this (theyll end the cap at 13,500). Wow, and people doubted Toronto would be a good MLS choice
(now the excuse from soccer haters here is that atleast 5000 of those are cause of the "David Beckham trade". . But fact that TFC beat out the Raptor's 8000 and were 500 shy of the Blue Jay's record BEFORE Beckham was introduced says otherwise.
Also, wasnt Michael Jordan in the NBA at the time of the Raptor's first season? The man was the biggest sports star alive at the time...........no excuses.
