It cost 750K for USL team and MLS is 150 million. NO WAY promotion and relegation in the USA, it would be silly. and destroy the game.
Doesn't change your argument, but didn't USL raise the fee to $3-5 million? I thought I read that somewhere.
Expansion fees were 3 mil in '16 and 5 mil in '17. I also don't see where you correlate the cost of expansion fees to destroying the game. Maple Leaf Sports paid 10 mil for Toronto FC, they seem to be doing fine.
It was 10 million when TORONTO came on board and Sacramento came in USL in 2012 for 250K. Why invest 150 mil in mls and build 200 mil stadium and after first year instead of playing Atlanta and la and NYCFC you play swope park rgv and tulsa? Trying to build fan base and you get destroyed in second year? Insanity. Pro reg pushed by people not investing money in league or actually fans of mls as first choice league. Promotion for Sacramento is accomplished if they are selected and pay 150 million to join.
