I judge from what I see and empty stadiums don't give me a good vibe about tourney. USA might be a largest market for sports, but cricket is not much famous there. MLC bigger than IPL? No way that happen, passion for cricket in India versus in other nations is no match.
Isn’t it expected to see empty stadiums there? People of the USA aren't going to spend around 4 hours on an office day to watch a T20 match. Cricket isn't so popular there, that's why the old citizens won't visit stadiums to spend their leisure time. MLC management can spend a lot of money to take top players in their tournament. Still, it won't be more popular than IPL. First of all, they have to take steps to attract the spectators to compete with any other cricket league.
