Been something if Taylor Swift held concert there
I legitimately think there would be a structural risk if she played there!

Is that why she never came to Montreal?

Sorry to disappoint you but the real deal is not happening in North America. The MLS remains the equivalent of the AHL in hockey. People know it. That's why soccer will never spark passions the way baseball, hockey, or even the NFL does here. Young people playing soccer won't change that. I have young children and the only players they can name are Mbappé or Ronaldo..
When they are hasbeens they are going to come and make money in MLS. Nothing very shiny. The majority of MLS players are a bunch of plugs who could never play in the big leagues. People in North America are not as stupid as you may think.
If the Expos were still alive and somehow managed to get Shohei Ohtani , would that make them the favorites to win the World Series? One player can have that kind of influence on a team. Not even Messi or Ronaldo in their prime were even close to that kind of awesomeness.When messi signed with Miami, they instantly became the most followed club in North American sports on social media.

True that the US (N.A.) and Japan are the only baseball hot spots whereas foot is Universal. But even sportscasters, and their crews to opposing players will all stop what they're doing and stare in wonder when Shohei steps up to the plate.Thats a different topic of conversation, but I'm talking strictly from a popularity standpoint. Football is the king sport in terms of popularity, and messi/Ronaldo were the poster boys of that sport for well over a decade, and messi coming off his world cup win is still going strong.
They will drive more eyeballs from a global perspective than any baseball player.

That would explain why MLS playoffs are way, way more popular than the World Series, the Super Bowl, and even the NHL playoffs.Thats a different topic of conversation, but I'm talking strictly from a popularity standpoint.
