And the team in the "not thriving" CFL has drawn 32k capacity crowds for the past 11? games.
The problem is the poster's romantic Euro and SA dreams and opinions are riddled with dis and misinformation of the NA scene. I would blame it on the modern ignorance of youth and history but I don't know how old the poster is.
By most metrics MLS has done fairly well as has the CPL as long as it operates within its means. Those means are crowds in the 2k-6k range
