Final Attendance Update

Comment if you want a specific team's week by week attendance for all 17 home games. I also have all historical of teams since 1996.

The only teams to have a decrease in average attendance were Chicago, Columbus, Philadelphia, and Toronto. Philadelphia had a decrease due to playing a couple games last year at Lincoln Financial and having attendance of over 25,000. The Portland Timbers and Seattle Sounders both increased capacity for a few games resulting in a percent full stadium over 100%. The San Jose Earthquakes played at Stanford Stadium for a game on July 4th weekend and drew 41,028 fans resulting in an increase in attendance.

The Houston Dynamo and the Montreal Impact will both have soccer specific stadiums next year. San Jose will have a soccer specific stadium complete in 2013. DC United and NE Revolution have no plans for soccer specific stadiums. Vancouver will play all games at BC Place next year with expandable seating. Montreal will also play higher priority games in the larger Olympic Stadium next year. More analysis to come.
Houston Dynamo's new stadium for next year.

  1. Do you have a photo of Montreal's stadium or even the plans for the Earthquake stadium?

    It is good to see the total rose this year but that was obviously helped with the 2 new teams. Hope we can keep adding and growing now that the games are going to be on tv more. I just hope we can get a team in the southeast. Being from Florida no teams are close.

  2. Any chance you could send season-end figures for every year since 1996 to nathanrupert@gmail.com? I'm putting together a full analysis and your figures would be unbelievably helpful. Thanks in advance!

  3. Do you want the stats for every team every year or just MLS as a whole for the each year?

  4. Hi Tom,

    Would you be able to send me the historical data for each team? Season-end data for each team since 1996. Also, can you tell me what source you are pulling this data from?

    Many thanks,
