@ Eric,
Why does the league need that? MLS already has the supporters shield. Until the league reaches 20 teams a single table would not make any sense because of imbalanced schedules.

If you are willing to accept the playoffs, truly an American focus, you’ll just have to accept that most MLS followers place little emphasis on the Supporters Shield because of the existence of playoffs.

Very encouraging stats! It’s difficult to know what New England can do to improve their appeal. No chance of a soccer specific stadium, huge football/baseball catchment area. Maybe time someone moved South where we have nadda (hint, hint)! Oh, and although a bit off topic I do agree with Eric, single table is the only logical way forward.

Have a single table with playoffs and season tickets will improve even more. Crown a League Champion at regular seasons end then proceed with the playoffs as usual. This is the real double for crying out loud.

[...] Footiebusiness reports on MLS’ season ticket renewals, with a wild range from over 90% in Seattle (no surprise) to just 30% in New England. Not sure how this compares historically at this stage of the renewal drive, but the league rate is at around 60%. [...]

these are solid numbers. I presume they will continue to climb in the coming months
