MLS Week 21 Attendance

Aerick · 08-22-2005, 09:06 AM

I'm concerned that our attendance will only get worse from this point on, not better. The next home game is being held during Labor Day weekend. I, for one, will be out of town with my family, as will many others, I'm sure. After that we start cutting into football season. I have a feeling that we'll always see a trend like this. Great attendance the first half of the season, and then after the All-Star Break we'll see declining attendance. I hope I'm wrong about that last trend, but I don't think so - at least for a few more years.

I'm thinking our numbers aren't all that straight, either. At least some of our games have looked nearly empty and still been reported at 15000 plus.

We re normally within the norm of 2000, once this season I think it's been a little higher.

We also have a very late-arriving crowd.

The Cheetos game was understandable because it was a weird time and it was so hot that a lot of people were hanging out in the concourses.

Not sure what's up with the rest of the games, though... I mean, it's not like almost all of our games start at 7:30 on Saturday nights or anything so it's REALLY difficult to remember what time to show up.

I don't think that'll be necissary. That's the game they're giving all those schools free tickets for.
