    The Echo Chamber would be a more appropriate nickname.

    Did anyone make the requisite "don't they know Cobi Jones retired or were they thinking of the fans" joke yet?

    Pick your tickets up at StubHub Center and watch a free Chivas game.

    That's cold. They might be a dark horse team of 2013.

    To follow up on this since it was written in January, the rugby tournament has since been cancelled and won't take place.

    Not sure how accurate this is but

    That's very good if true.

    OK, so lets add this up

    LA has the largest shirt deal at $4.4M a year
    LA has the largest stadium deal at $10M a year
    LA has the largest local TV deal at $5.5M a year

    That is just shy of $20 million in revenue AEG is getting for just these three items.

    Meanwhile New York has one corporate branded side that can't sell it's shirt and stadium rights and a local market that cares so little for it, that a mini-Manchester City (hardly a prestigious team) has been parachuted into it. Gotta hurt New York.

    Well, perhaps the idea of NY2 was to make sure it went to an OG willing to create something spectacular..and had the resources to make it happen?
    RBNY have never really embraced NJ I fear, that can work both ways unfortunately.

    Wow, that's about as jaundiced a reading the real situation as one can fine.

    Prejudiced, much?

    Oh believe me Chivas USA isn't any better than the Red Bull issue but it's frustrating to see the Galaxy steaming on ahead when all the NYC/LA teams should be doing something similar.

    How much of the naming rights money typically goes to the local municipalities that contribute land, infrastructure, and usually capital?

    SixKick don't think there is a typical number for that, it depends on each stadium's contracts. For the Fire, 2/3rds of the naming rights revenue goes to Bridgeview.
