An article published in Forbes earlier this week spoke of the profitability of Major League Soccer expansion. MLS is considering raising its entry fee to $200 million dollars, up significantly from the $40 million dollar cost just four years ago. But MLS Commissioner Don Garber believes that the league has proven the $200 million cost is appropriate for what the owners will make in return.
Amongst some of the highest grossing teams in the league right now are some of its newest franchises. In fact, Orlando City came in as the fifth most valued team in the league at $240 million dollars.
