Playoffs Attendance

I broke up the attendance by rounds and averaged them out along with the overall average.

The wild cards are hard to sell as they are so soon after the season ends.

All the semifinals and the final are sellouts for their respective home teams.

The quarterfinals found some problems with hurricane Sandy on the east coast that caused the schedule to be switched and a couple lower attendances resulted.

Overall, this is one of the highest attended playoffs ever with good growth and a lot of excitement that surrounded the games played.

Round	Wild Card	Quarterfinals	Semifinals	Final	Overall
1	10,923	34,941	22,101	30,510	22,356
2	14,703	17,556	27,000
3		20,689	44,575
4		27,000	20,015
5		20,894
6		10,744
7		14,035
8		19,657
Average	12,813	20,690	28,423	30,510	22,356

As a final side note, it will be interested how attendance will be affected with the departure of David Beckham and possibly other big names. The LA Galaxy sold out almost every road game as the opposing team would sell the Galaxy with their big names (Beckham, Keane, and Donavon) to the fans. It is because of this that many teams increased capacity or played at other facilities for these games. Can the MLS continue to sell on talent without the big names to draw the crowds?

2012 Final Attendance Update

The MLS once again broke the record for average attendance and total attendance in their best year yet.

The total number of attendees for the 2012 MLS season was 6,072,854. The first time that the league has broken 6 million attendees. To put it in perspective, the MLS broke 4 million in 2010 and 5 million in 2011 for the first times, so the MLS has attendance growth has been continual. Granted the addition of teams has helped this, but overall average attendance has spiked too.

The MLS posted the highest average attendance per game in 2012 with 18,801. This puts them as the 8th highest average attendance for a football league in the world. They are behind the Bundesliga, the Premier League, La Liga, Liga MX, Serie A, Eredivisie and the Chinese Super League. This does put the MLS above leagues such as Ligue 1, the Coca-Cola Championship, and Primera A Division in Argentina. 

After fluctuation around 16,000 attendees per game for a few years (2007-2010), the MLS has started to grow as better talent, better soccer specific stadiums, and better atmospheres have created the MLS to what it is today. The MLS is not done growing, but it will be interesting to see if attendance can hold over the next few years with no new teams joining the league (besides a NY team presumably in 2014 or later). The lower attendance teams are growing though as the lowest team this year (Chivas USA) had an attendance of 13,056. Where as the past few years have had the lowest attended club be in the 9,000-11,000 range. There are a lot of positives to be seen from this year and the MLS is still a young league; there is much more to come in the next few years.

Comment on this if you want all 17 games of your team put up, if you would like a year by year of your team, or anything else. 

I will work on an article with the stats in a graph in 1996 to truly see the MLS progression.

Don't hesitate to ask for some stats or an article. I will try to get written up ASAP around my busy college exam schedule.

Missing Attendance

I will be able to publish the final statistics once I am able to acquire the attendance for the FC Dallas vs. Chivas USA game. For some reason I cannot find the announced attendance anywhere from this last Sunday game and am unable to finish my statistics. Please help me out!

Thanks!!

This year will pass last year's record of 17,870 per game by far and will also set another record in total attendance as almost 6,000,000 attendees could be possible. The MLS is growing ladies and gentleman.

Week 16 Attendance Update

The MLS had a great pre-Fourth of July weekend and Fourth of July turnout. Almost all teams sold out games during this time every team had a higher than normal turnout. What says America more than soccer now a days? 

San Jose pulled off another great turnout against the Galaxy in the California Classico just like they did last year. They had over 50,000 come out to see Wondolowski help the Quakes come back and win a 4-3 thriller. This bodes well for San Jose as they get a new stadium in the near future with a capacity near 18,000. 

Otherwise the MLS has had a pretty good turnout since it's short break during the Euro Cup. With no announcement yet, I am assuming the MLS will stay at 19 teams for next year. So the best we can hope for is growth within the teams. Better talent seems to be coming in free agent signings and more people are becoming interested in Major League Soccer. As attendances increase and the level of play increases, it seems the MLS and Don Garber are on the right track.

Vacation Update - Montreal falls from attendance graces

This is the first time I have posted from my iPhone so be wary. I am currently camping in Colorado until July 9th. I will be away from a computer and my database, so there will be no updates till then. Till then I hope everyone keeps watching some great MLS games. I will continue to ponder the Impact's fall from attendance grace. They hosted crowds of 58,000+ and 60,000+ and at one point lead the league in attendance. Since moving to Stade Saputo, they have recorded some terrible attendance. Their first game in the stadium wasn't a sellout and a mere 17,000 people showed up to see them beat the Sounders. Since then they have seen crowds of 12,000 for a 4-2 drubbing of Houston and 14,000 in a 3-0 loss to Toronto. I don't get it. This team is winning. They just played two of the most interesting teams in the MLS with some great talent to mediocre crowds. Oh and isn't there a source of rivalry between Toronto and Montreal? This fan base has fallen from the graces. What more can you ask for then a fun and exciting team that is winning as an expansion team. Was I asking too much to expect Montreal to continue the Canadian ways of hosting consistent crowds of 20,000+? Comments please.

Week 15 Attendance Update

The MLS had a decent week in terms of attendance. It was capped off by a couple fun nationally televised games with crazy crowds. Portland earned a 2-1 victory in front of a boisterous Timbers Army while the New York Red Bulls sold out their first game of the year beating the league leading DC United 3-2. These were both fun games to watch and after seeing them, who wouldn't want to head out to catch the action themselves in person.

Week 14 - The MLS is back!

Sorry I was away from my computer as I was on a vacation the last 4 days. After the Euro Cup group stage break, the MLS started back up this weekend. Watching the Euro Cup has been quite a lot of fun as nothing can rival the intensity of each nation and the competition. Meanwhile, Montreal opened their newly redone Saputo Stadium to a decent crowd (17,112 and 84.12% full) as they beat up on the Sounders.

Week 13 - USOC and USMNT Play

There has only been one MLS match played this week. The US soccer world has been filled with USMNT friendlies to prepare for World Cup qualifying along with US Open Cup games.

The US Open Cup had a crazy start this past week. It is nice to see the Cup expand to include a large field, and there was no shortage of drama as the 16 United States MLS teams joined the action. After all was said and done, the West's best Real Salt Lake were bounced by the Minnesota Stars along with many other MLS teams. Only half of the MLS teams won as the fourth round sees only 8 MLS teams joined by 3 NASL teams, 3 USLPro teams, a PDL team, and a USASA team. History has already been made, and it is not over. These teams from the 2nd to 4th division and even an adult team are playing their hearts out as the MLS puts on reserves. I know some MLS teams do not care about the US Open Cup, but there is something to be said about putting a team on the field, even if they are reserves to get a win for your team. The Sounders have shown what can be done with effort in the USOC, and isn't the bid for the CONCACAF Champions League enough of a reason to try? Tuesday will host the fourth round of the Cup.

Meanwhile the US has shown a stellar offensive team against Scotland, a lackluster team against Brazil, and a just plain boring team that got out played tonight against Canada. It will be interesting to see how the US will be able to find their shape and lineup as Klinsmann has been switching between a 4-4-2 and a 4-3-3. The men will start their bid for the 2014 World Cup later this week in Florida playing a should be cake team in Antigua and Barbuda. The will then face a tougher challenge against Guatemala to finish this cycle of national games. MLS will then start back up as the world of soccer will be caught up in the Euro Cup.

As to MLS attendance, it has started to level off at around 18,500 as the league looks to set even more attendance records this year. It will be interesting to see how attendance rises in the summer and how it will decline in the fall as football season kicks in. The MLS has league play all the way till October with the playoffs ending with the MLS Cup on December 1. We aren't even half way through the season, but the MLS is still expanding and showing growth in attendance, something that will hopefully catch the view of the world.

Week 12 Attendance Update

The Greatest Spectacle in Racing

Sorry for the delay. This Memorial Day weekend I took a 5 day trip to the Indy 500 and a few other midwest   cities. I saw my Minnesota Twins lose to the Chicago White Sox at US Cellular too. I enjoyed some sporting events, and the epitome of white trash. I even got to see some of the USMNT game vs Scotland  in a restaurant. They clicked and this was a good start for this 5 game stretch for them. Maybe when Landon returns to LA they can change their ways, but as for now, they are at the bottom of the Western conference.

I did not see much of the MLS games, but they looked to be exciting and full of goals. This Memorial Day Weekend was also good for attendance as many teams had large or sell out crowds.
