    Does MLS see any money from the sale of Metro merchandise at Giants Stadium? I know they get nothing from concessions and parking.

    So concessions includes even MLS merchandise, not just hotdogs, soda, etc...? But MLS must make something. MLS doesn't just give the merchandise to the Medowlands. The Medowlands must buy it from MLS right?

    MLS makes a royalty- probaly 3-5%. The manufacturers make the money- ie Nike.

    But the royalty is peanuts compared to the profits they could be making if they sold the merchandise in their own stadium, correct?

    However, MLS makes a complete profit on all items sold on their web site and MetroStars website, right?

    Sorry, I just want to get this straight because I'm writing letters to the Senators and Assemblymen and I'm trying to make a point to them. Thanks for all your help.
