    It's cute that TFC fans think they can win anything.

    They won the Eastern conference of MLS. The MLS Cup sold out in minutes. The Grey Cup was in danger of not selling out. Right there is a barometer of this market. Minnesota, Atlanta and LA are adding MLS teams, its completely a growth league and sport.

    Why did MLS soccer do away with holding the MLS Cup at neutral sites?

    So don't compare it to the Grey Cup where the home team wasn't playing.

    Also IIRC the MLS championship game used to be played at a neutral site like the Grey Cup but the MLS fans didn't support it so it had to be changed to be played at one of the participating teams venues.

    And which game do you think was more profitable?

    In most cases, even after the price drop. Grey Cup ticket prices at the cheapest sections were 4x more and in the more expensive sections 7-8x more. Regardless how many "giveaways" there may have been.

    The barometer is novelty in this case, a MLS had to go from hosting at a neutral site to what they do now because had this game been hosted somewhere else it probably wouldn't have sold out. I mean, the 100th Grey Cup sold out before the first regular season game that season, in June. Is that an indicator for the barometer of the market?

    No $hit.

    I know it seems as though I'm easily annoyed, especially lately, but I really can't stand TFC trolls coming on here and pretending to be Argos fans so they can spew their BS.
    It's us vs the rest of the country
