His impact on the league is clear for all to see. After guiding them to their first trophy last year, Messi and his Miami teammates will be looking to win the MLS this year. His arrival to the league has already caused ticket prices to soar across the country and the Yankee Stadium in New York is now preparing for his arrival.

New York City FC, who share Yankee Stadium with the Yankees, have already announced that they will open the upper deck of the stadium for the game. This only happens when there is a high demand for tickets and a chance to see Messi in action will surely do the trick. Tickets for the game went on presale today, and the cheapest option starts at $210, while the most expensive goes upwards of $1,400.
