After a great year for TFC and boy was it a fun run despite the sad end has come to an end. We now have a few months off, waiting for the new season in March. Also it was a great year for MLS. Attendance average was raised again to over 21k average a new record. I think higher tv ratings then ever before in Canada and USA (Toronto vs Montreal playoff series set new records for Canadian soccer tv ratings). Teams have made more money, and more money has been given to clubs across the league for next season salary caps. New players joined the league and more money has been put into infrastructure and player development across the league.

It is interesting to see how this league will continue to grow in the next 10 years. How much better can it get? Will talent improve? How much money can be spent on players? How many more new stadiums and clubs join the league?

Next year Atlanta United and Minnesota United will join the league. Atlanta will play at NFL Falcons new stadium who have already sold a new MLS record of over 21k season ticket holders in its first year (not even Seattle did that in year 1) and Minnesota United also have had pretty good ticket sales and will play at a University stadium for the first year, and hope to have construction starting soon and able to move into a bran new soccer stadium in 2018. Los Angeles FC will join in 2018 season in a new stadium that is already under construction located very close to the downtown core of LA and have already sold over 10k deposits for season tickets in 2018 (Galaxy sold 11,500 season tickets this year) and I believe DC United finally are expecting a new stadium in 2018 after over 10 years of trying to get a new stadium built. And Orlando new stadium (it looks awesome by the way) is near completion, will be ready in 2017.

How many teams will join MLS by 2027? How is the league going to change the season schedule? Will US Open cup change at all in the future? Will Canadian soccer change? Will it grow into other Canadian cities?
