The mechanical shark from Jaws has always gotten a bad rap. Anyone who has a passing interest in Jaws knows it kept breaking down, which was a blessing in disguise because Steven Spielberg had to add more character development and depth to the script.
Using some rudimentary data, MLS appears to average $58.07 per each of its 17 home matches in 2014. The so-called best deal in sports still remains Major League Baseball at $27.73 per each of 81 home games in 2013. ($27.93 per in 2014, a 2.0% increase.).
That demand should be little surprise given the leagueâs recent success. In 2011, average MLS attendance hit 17,872 to surpass both the NBA and NHL, and it has since increased to 18,611 fans per game. More impressively, the average franchise is now worth $103 million, up more than 175% over the last five years.
