This looks familiar.

Mistakes are being made, true.

But really, is this that big of a news story? A pro team losing $14 million?

I'm sure there are MLB or NBA teams that have lost that much, if not more, in one season.

If they lose $14 million after a season or two at Red Bull Park, then we can sound the alarms. Right now, this just tells us what we already know. Mistakes have been made by RBNY.

I don't think a team turned a profit until the 9th year. To this day I think only 3 or have turned a profit Even if just one season.

Better count on TFC making a profit.

I'm confident Houston, RSL, and DCU don't have problems either.

It's simple. The corporate sponsors jumped ship because nobody wants to cheer for a walking soda can advertisement. I still hold on to the impossible dream that the Yankees turn into a multi-sport franchise and buy the Metrobulls and turn them into the Yankees. It'll never happen, but it never hurts to dream.

I thought they where owned by their biggest sponsor...

Considering what money Red Bull are making and are currently using to sponsor different sporting events I´d say that they will not flinch until they have lost say $300-400m.
In some countries they make more money than Coca-Cola.

Well, you know WE'RE going to make a profit, come rain or shine.

And then half of the tri-state area fans tell you to go F. yourself. I moved to go to university in Santa Barbara and I would still see Yankees hats walking around downtown. (which just goes to show there are A**holes everywhere you go.)

Agreed, I grew up in SB and don't understand how people could support the Yankees, while being born in Southern California. I wonder how much Red Bulls are hurting themselves by waiting to bring out the marketing campaign when RB Park is opened. They have a great product as it is now, just no one knows about it. I have friends in NY that follow soccer that didn't even know where the team played, that's ridiculous.
