Does is really matter. Having said that the Whitecaps are not worth 35 million dollars. I always laugh when I see that. Just because the expansion fee was 35 million, doesn`t mean the team will ever even come close to being worth that. At this moment there are only 2-3 teams who are profitable in MLS. Secondly considering the Lions and CFL TV ratings blow MLS ratings out of the water, and the with the Grey Cup coming to town this year it`s way too premature to anoint the Whitecaps bigger than the Lions.
Also, `sellout` was a bit loose considering they tarped off 5000 seats. If they felt they could sustain 27500 people they would have sold those seats.
