Week 17 Attendance Update

Something of note is that Chivas USA broke into 5 digits for a game this year. Their previous high was 9,732. This week with a derby against LA Galaxy they managed 14,575. I don't like to post my opinions too much but they need to be moved to San Diego and rebranded.

I am a little hesitant with NY becoming the 20th team as a Chivas ending could come of the NY Red Bulls once Thierry Henry leaves. A NJ stadium may not make it if the NY team emerges as a presence for the NYC soccer fans.
