Jaws art director Joe Alves was determined to prove a top-notch mechanical shark could be done. Of course this decision would come back to haunt Spielberg repeatedly throughout the shoot, but Alves was determined to prove a top-notch mechanical shark could be done.
The average Major League Soccer franchise is worth $103 million, according to a Forbes article from 2013. In 2008, the average team was worth $37 million and losing money. According to the Forbes article, the average MLS attendance in 2013 was 18,611 fans per game, more than the NBA and NHL. And 10 of the league's 19 teams are making a profit before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.
The average pay in MLS is 75k. There are a few players that make wak above that though. Landon Donovan makes 900k and Freddy Adu I think makes 750k. The players on the reserve teams that see very little to no time with the first teams make $11,500 I think.DL and W-League players make $0 (for playing at least) per season due to NCAA restrictions (most of the rosters is made up of NCAA players, and they would lose their eligibility if they were paid or if they played with players who were paid. Why yes the NCAA sucks.
