MLS Cup Switches To ESPN and Prime-Time

A decision that could be said to be an interesting one. The Sports Business Journal is reporting that the league owners have decided to move this year's MLS Cup in Seattle to prime-time TV on November 22nd. The switch also sees the game go from network TV to cable TV for the first time.

The owners are hoping the later start time will enhance the stadium atmosphere which should translate into a better TV viewing experience.
