It was reported CFL ratings are up 10% so far this season. The CFL is a tremendously exciting television event, that's why so many Canadians watch on TV...preferable to even watching the Argos live for many fans. On the other hand the MLS is an excruciatingly boring television event, that's why so few Canadians watch TFC on TV...but they do show up for home games...well, at least 50% of TFC tickets distributed are being used. The Argos obviously don't "paper" the crowd as TFC obviously does.

The Argos are one of the top TV draws in the CFL, which indicates at least 150,000 viewers from Toronto are watching Argo home games. It was reported that 3.6 million viewers from the extended Toronto market watched all or part of the 2012 Grey Cup. Have a total of 3.6 million people from Toronto watched the MLS in the history of the league, including their most recent Soccer Bowl championship which drew a national audience of 80,000 on TSN?
