Here's some accounting on the game from the Wall Street Journal.

The ticket revenue at a soccer game is more than at a concert, but not what it would be for a football game because of lower ticket prices. Still, with seats ranging from $45 to $325 for Saturday's game, Cardenas ... guessed that the ticket revenue alone from Saturday's game would be $5 million.

While New Meadowlands Stadium will be the promoter for some games, the cost of staging this particular game falls to Cardenas. He said he paid a rental fee of roughly $600,000 to New Meadowlands Stadium, which includes wages to the game-day event staff, and paid to put in the grass field over the stadium's Field Turf, which runs about $200,000. Advertising and promotion are his responsibility. He keeps the ticket revenue and the New Meadowlands Stadium Company takes the parking and concession fees.

You'd think a guy making $40M/Y could afford a skycap.

Or maybe that's Leo's money suitcase that no one else can touch.
