Aren't soccer stadiums a lot bigger than basketball arenas?

Wait, so you mean to tell me that the league with bigger stadiums had more fans in the games?

NBA teams could build bigger stadiums but they know that they wouldn't get enough fans to fill them ... maybe.

I'd probably watch MLS if it weren't the equivalent of the D-League or AA baseball.

How many games do they play in the MLS? I bet they don't have 41 home games

18 or 19, I think. More than NFL ... less than baseball.

NBA stadiums are 22,000 to 17,000 seats

MLS soccer specific stadiums are 27,000 to 10,000

They are of comparable size.
