    I suspect we’ll see club valuations jump pretty steeply this year:

    The expansion fee is nearly double the $110 million Denver Summit FC paid last year, and $40 million higher than the $165 million Arthur Blank paid for the Atlanta 2028 franchise just six months ago. Other recent expansion teams, Bay FC and Boston Legacy, paid around $53 million each.

    I’m glad there’s another year at 16 teams. I’m having a hard time keeping up with all the expansion!
