NYCFC backers have to be loving their investment

The latest Forbes valuations of MLS teams showed they’re pretty solid investments, perhaps none more so than New York City FC.

The average MLS team saw its value spike 18 percent from last year and 80 percent from 2013, an eye-watering return on investment. And NYCFC might be the best of the bunch.

Seattle was again deemed the most valuable at $285 million, and the runner-up Los Angeles Galaxy produced the most revenue at $58 million. New York City FC, in just its second season, comes in third with an estimated value of $255 million, while earning $36 million.
