Going to every TFC game this season, there's definitely a lot more people in the stands than last year. So I wouldn't be surprised if TFC is telling the truth regarding attendance. Also, TL claims TFC increased their sponsorship deals by couple of million. So on paper, revenue has increased and I am going assume this year's TV ratings are better than last few years. So TFC is slowly heading right direction, but there's a lot more things they can do to improve their product/brand though.
As for Vancouver, this is only second time they beat us in TV ratings front so I don't think you can give them that much credit. Also their club value isn't that great (based on Forbes) compare to TFC despite being losing team since day one. As an investor, I would rather invest into TFC than Whitecaps despite their "huge" following social media and similar TV numbers.
