Hopefully the expansion clubs' numbers can hold--Orlando and NYCFC killed it this year.

West coast and Canada love some soccer. I am sure Montreal had a nice spike once Drogba came over.
Orlando City has a nice freaking stadium. Makes sense seeing them up there, just as the highest ranked Eastern Confrence team

Average attendance number is a lil skewed, since the Chivas closure. I think they were averaging like 7k per game. Anyway, looks like its heading in the right direction. I did my part last week when i bought season tickets

it sucks not really that many seats basically you can only sit on the sides in the lower deck that it.
Once in a while the upper deck is open.

That Orlando stat is crazy.
Good for them. KC lower than I expected as well.
Whoops didnt realize Livestrong park was so small.

Smaller...but sell out or damn near every game.

I watched a lot of MLS this year, but a lot of these clubs have problems actually getting people in those seats. Lot of no shows unless it's a huge game (Galaxy coming to town) or the team is great.

I would never have though Seattle averaged more than Liverpool and Chelsea

Well Stamford Bridge (Chelsea) only seats 42k. Seattle's attendance is greater than most premier league teams' stadiums hold.

Not sure how the next expansion teams will do. Can LAFC get support with LA Galaxy in town. Miami fans all suck. ATL can go either way, and Minnesota I hear has had some good attendance for playing in a lower league.

When does New Orleans get a team?

Some the stats can be misleading. FC Dallas is near the bottom but their stadium only holds 20k.
Posted on 10/26/15 at 9:06 pm to STLhog
SKC attendance dropped 1.6% this year...and still averaged 106.6% capacity 
.
I think yesterday was the 70th straight sell out.
