Major League Soccer: News: 01/11/2007

Apparently, after the announcement, 200 season tickets were quickly sold for the new Toronto FC team.

200? Wow. That must be a seating record for the MLS for a single game.

He must be trying to lower his celebrity profile.

Well, that plus none of the Euro-squads would pay him that kind of bread. He has a training facility in SoCal though. Hell, bout time MLS got some halfway decent talent instead of acting like a Premire league feeder system (meaning all the halfway decent players we have get sent out there).

I still only care about the European Leagues. -CSM

^Agree.

MLS is the equivalent of a AA baseball league.

I thought it was 2,000, not 200.

The 200 Season ticket thing was mentioned in the Toronto FC mailing list message that announced Beckham's signing (and the fact that he will eventually be in town playing against the team):

Quote:

Though the schedule has not been released, it has been confirmed that the Galaxy will play in Toronto later in the season, giving our fans the chance to watch Beckham live!

We sold over 200 season tickets in the first few hours of this announcement.
