Minnesota United's $85M valuation jump outpaces the MLS median of 8-10% annual growth, placing the franchise in the league's upper quartile. expansion revenue from Apple TV's $2.5B media deal and increased stadium utilization at Allianz Field drive the 14.2% uptick. Bill McGuire's franchise now ranks fifth in MLS valuation, trailing only LAFC, Inter Miami, LA Galaxy, and Seattle Sounders, as investor appetite for soccer properties remains calibrated to media rights acceleration and youth demographic capture.
