Today, Forbes magazine published its annual evaluation of MLS teams. Omitted from last year’s rankings for lack of adequate data, Atlanta United and Minnesota United made their debuts on the list this year. Minnesota came in at a respectable #12, but the Five Stripes naturally had to make a flashy entrance, topping the list at the first try.
Forbes’ valuation of Atlanta was $330 million, $10 million more than the second most valuable team, the LA Galaxy, and significantly above the league average valuation of $240 million.
