MLS Commissioner Don Garber excited for Montreal
He addressed the Board of Trade of Metropolitan Montreal MONTREAL – The president of the Montreal Impact Joey Saputo and the Commissioner of Major League Soccer Don Garber addressed some 350 members of the Board of Trade of Metropolitan Montreal on Wednesday, at the downtown Le Centre Sheraton. With less than a month until the Montreal Impact’s inaugural game, Garber discussed the positive effects of the arrival of MLS in the province and the importance of Montreal joining MLS. “We are very excited to be in Montreal,” said Commissioner Garber. “The large crowd in attendance today goes to show how dedicated you all are in developing something for your community that bring them together and celebrate something very special.” Garber, in his address, discussed the growth of the league as attendance is at an all-time high, with some 18,000 fans taking in MLS games on average last year, and discussed what he thought the future might be. “Our goal is not to compete with the NHL, the NFL or MLB as we are very different from them,” he added. “Our goal is that when people think of La Liga (Spain), the English Premier League or Italy’s Serie A, they think of MLS as well.” www.impactmontreal.com/en/news/2012/02/mls-commissioner-don-garber-excited-montreal
