Now that the regular season is over, I crunched some numbers on attendance for 2019. I took the numbers from (and was inspired by) Lion's Guess the Attendance thread.
- Average Attendance: 21,107
- Weeknights (8 games): 20,035
- Weekends (9 games): 22,060
- Weekend Days (6 games): 21,138
- Weekend Nights (3 games): 23,903
- Highest Attendance: New Jersey (Sat, Aug 24): 28,895
- Lowest Attendance: Houston (Thu, Aug 8): 18,113
- Opening Game - DCU; Sat, March 10, 3pm: 24,361
- HRD - NJR; Sat, Aug 24, 7pm: 28,895
- Last Game - ATL; Wed, Sep 25, 7pm: 24,290
- Weeknights (7 games): 19,427
- Weekends (7 games): 20,754
- Weekend Days (5 games): 20,494
- Weekend Nights (2 games): 21,407
- Highest Attendance: Philadelphia (Sat, June 29): 24,451
- Weekends drew 10.1% more than weeknights (6.8% if you remove the big games).
- Weekend nights drew 13.1% more than weekend days (4.5% if you remove the big games); I am dubious about this difference given the small sample sizes.
- Weeknight games drew the two lowest attended games, and six of the team's eight lowest attended.
- NYC ranked 9th in league attendance (out of 24 teams), down from 7th (of 22) in 2018.
- NYC's 2019 attendance was down 9.1% from 2018 and 4.5% compared to the previous low in 2017 (which was skewed by the game in Hartford).
- Attendance each year: 2015 - 29,016; 2016 - 27,196; 2017 - 22,177; 2018 - 23,211; 2019 - 21,107.
