In descending order of quantity a quarter of a billion dollars will get you:


13,888,889 of the cheap seats for the USA V Denmark international at LA Galaxy’s Home Depot Center on January 20

3,846,154 LA Galaxy Home Shirts at retail (it’ll cost extra for the letters ‘a’ ‘b’ ‘c’ ‘e’ ‘h’ ‘k’ and ‘m’ on the back)

833,333 LA Galaxy Season Tickets for 2006 (General Admission at $300 each)

657,895 LA Galaxy Season Tickets for 2007 (General Admission at $380 each)

4,771 full color, full page ads in the NY Times Sports Section (Announcing the arrival of a new player)

132 years of an entire squad’s salary under the ‘old’ MLS rules

65 Clint Dempseys (New England Revolution to Fulham)

4 years of interest payments on Manchester United’s debts post-Malcolm Glazer takeover

2 entire Aston Villa Football Clubs as purchased by Randy Lerner

1 slightly past it, former international footballer who, in the words of George Best ‘ cannot kick with his left foot, he cannot head a ball, he cannot tackle and he doesn't score many goals. Apart from that he's all right." And that was in his prime…
