League: Team and Fee

league: The league announced it is making progress on plans to add a team in Miami the high-profile bid that includes David Beckham that would bring the league to 24, according to Brandon Sun. Garber was not specific about the Miami team on a conference call with reporters Thursday, but said We are very focused on Miami being our 24th team. The Los Angeles Football Club will join the league in 2018 as the 23rd team. Minnesota paid a 100 million franchise fee. The fee does not cover the entire cost that owners will incur in starting up a franchise, like coaching staff salaries and stadium costs, which Garber said would bring the total cost well north of 300 million. In contrast, Toronto paid a 10 million fee in 2006. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
