Because MLS is going after 18-35 year olds who live in the city. Who follow the US National team. Build a 18K-20K Stadium around Somerville/Revere and the Revs sell out every game.
If people don't think soccer in the country can take off you don't pay attention to what is happening. Look this summer in Boston at how many bars will be packed to capacity watching the US World Cup games.
When the league started in 1996. It was played in all NFL Stadiums.
No doubt about games being sold out at 18-20K in a new soccer specific stadium.
As far as soccer in this country it has a huge following. And if you think no one cares about it you are uninformed and dead wrong. Watch the world cup this summer and see the following that has. Fan clubs all over US for EPL,La liga,Serie A,Bundesliga. Heck if the revs get a new stadium and ownership commited to winning i might start following although tough going from Bayern level of play to revs. But in time MLS can prosper.
