FORBES: Red Bulls are 5th Most Valuable Team in MLS

By: Dave Martinez | September 9th, 2008
   

In their inaugaral valuation of Major League Soccer, the Red Bulls rounded up the top five most valuable teams in the league.

Here is how they stand, per Forbes:

Value: $36 million

Revenue: $10 million

Operating Income: -$4.5 million

The Red Bulls hope their days as a small fish in the big New York sports pond will be over once they begin play at Red Bulls Arena in Harrison, N.J., next year. The Austrian energy drink giant is betting big on a turnaround: paying $150 million for the team, its naming rights and construction costs since 2006.

The top five are as follows:

1 – LA
2 – TFC
3 – Chicago
4 – Dallas (really?!?!)
5 – Red Bulls

Dead last? Kansas City (San Jose is not included in this list)

So what do you think of their position at 5th? Or their negative operating income? Share, share, share . . .
