The MLS Cup is at half-time in Atlanta and United lead Portland 1-0 before a staggering crowd of ~72,000. Can you believe Don Garber made those remarks, the first honest, if confused, things he has ever said in a state of the league address, in Atlanta? Before this final. Between these teams. Portland played to 100% capacity this season...but in a Huddersfield Town stadium, capacity 21,000. If they played in a major league stadium, betcha they'd have averaged closer to double that. Atlanta only set the MLS per game attendance record this year, 53,002. Which only beat the old record of 48,200 set by...Atlanta in 2017. In short, these are two clubs that, from opposite ends, blow Garber's small stadium biz model to SHIT. Advising Arthur Blank to sell his best player?! If there is one mo-fo in the history of this misbegotten league who has made money, and a shit load of it, it is Arthur Blank. Atlanta ought to change its name to the Phenomenon for Atlanta United is a phenomenon.
