Revs host the Red Bulls tonight, I'll be at the IceHogs-Wolves game so I'll miss it, but it would probably be good for the league to get an LA-NY final

New England has already over 20,000 ticket sold and are looking for a crowds of over 25,000 possibly over 30,000. Seattle is opening up more of the stadium, I think they said 50,000, so they should be in the 50,000 (or more) range.

27,000 in Los Angeles
25,000 in New York
25,000-30,000 in New England (Who would ever think that New England would out draw LA)
50,000-55,000 in Seattle

That's a 31,750-34,250 average. All-time high for average in playoffs is 23,559 (2009), we stand at 20,667 through the first 12 games. So NE (25,000) and Seattle (50,000) will put us close to that record (23,071) with just the final left.


The league keeps growing, to bad we are stuck in neutral with are owner and the league is going to increase how many DP's teams are allowed.

Man we are SCREWED (more so), PLEASE Andrew sell the team you're out of your league and it's only going to get worse.

That's what the league probably wants but the Revs have been the most exciting team in MLS this season. I'm hoping for a Seattle vs. New England final.

More in line with NBA and NHL, slightly higher % but will be less when we get to 24 (assuming it doesn't expand again).

I think it's dumb. Even with extra teams it shouldn't be increased. So the whole point in the regular season is what..just for the meaningless seeding and to eliminate the absolute worst couple teams. The percentage atm is higher than NHL and NBA, which already is very high. When it comes to playoffs, the NFL still has the best system. 6 out of 16 teams is perfect.

I'm against it but, I guess we will see how it works out.

And it's a LA vs REVS MLS Final. In all honestly, I found myself rooting for Seattle, but they just couldn't pull it off. Let's see if Donovan can (perhaps) end his career with another MLS Cup.

They blew the whistle early despite there being a delay of game penalty (and several others uncalled) during stoppage...

27,000 in Los Angeles

Los Angeles win their 5th MLS CUP and Keane scores the game winning goal for LA.

I guess DP's (real ones, not FIRE DP's) make a difference, maybe if you actually signed that so called "Keane money" player that you said you would we could actually be the team that wins the MLS CUP.
