M.L.S. Attendance Heading In the Right Direction?

Soccer in the US is getting there!  I mean all over the league they are seeing an increase in attendance and in some cities (liked Houston) the soccer team is averaging more than the NBA team.  Now there are alot of factors that go into that and I will be the first to blame it on the sales reps, but location, talent, and prices can also be considered.  Bottem line is that M.L.S is gaining some steam.t

The key to any successful sports franchise starts with that bird in the hand.  Season ticket sales.  M.L.S. teams are reporting that across the league season ticket sales are up.  The majority of teams have built their own stadiums instead  of playing in arenas that hold 100,000 but only average 13k a game.

I am really interested in how the group sales department go about getting butts in a seat.  Yes, this is prime time for soccer in the summer and I am looking forward to reporting on it.
