We continue our series on comparing MLS to other leagues. Today we are looking at the stadium attendance comparison.
As we have seen recently, MLS fairs decently, in terms of attendance, with many other established soccer leagues. But, how about competing against the four mainstream domestic sports here in the US – how well is MLS doing? In a way, it is amazing that MLS has already reached this level of popularity. It’s a tough market, no question about it, however, there is definitely interest in the sport! And to prove the naysayers wrong, MLS is on par or even better than the NHL or NBA when it comes to average league attendance. Take a look:
