Blitzz and Freeze afternoon games always were down from night games in all seasons.

Evening games are great, especially for families. Families are generally busy on Saturday afternoons: birthday parties, sports, chores, etc.

Dear RSL friends.
As someone that only gets to see MLS via the TV and the beauty that is Direct Kick, I have to say RSL's home games are by far the loudest (with the possible exception of some LA Galaxt games, but not all).
I am so proud that RSL isn't like Chivas USA, CRapids or MetroStars where there is absolutely no atmosphere.
Carry on. :p

Well said. RSL has a true soccer crowd and that's a big part of why we're undefeated at home.

I think someone said it was 18K. I'm not sure if I'm remembering correctly.

18,621. Absolutely top shelf turnout by RSL fans.

I wonder if attendance will wane a little the Wednesday. I think it's harder for people to attend games during the week than on weekends. I'll be there Wednesday though. I predict 15,000 for Wednesday's game.

I'm not making a prediction, as it would be lower than yours and I don't want to jinx us. :o

Let's just say, "We're going to have a crowd", and leave it at that. 😉

As for a work night, I have to get up at 4:00 am on work days, even if I've been out until 11:00 pm at a soccer game, but you don't see me shirking my duty. They need to get their priorities straight! :p
