Guess The Attendance 2017 - NYCFC vs. Philadelphia (June 3)
- Thread starter LionNYC
- Start date
Does anyone else find this conspicuously absent? It's like they actually don't want to announce it rather than just a delay. The stadium was surprising empty considering it was a flawless Saturday afternoon against a regional opponent.
We're the only game from this weekend (Friday-Sunday) to not have attendance reported yet.
Attendance has to be concerning for this team. You certainly can't complain about the weather being bad anymore.
I doubt they drop is because die hard soccer fans are staying home to watch the CLF. I think the underlying issue is bringing in the casual fan.
True - I just don't think currently averaging 6th highest attendance is all that concerning yet (down from 3rd at the end of 2016) - sure it's down from the first 2 years, but we expected the casual fans would drop the numbers a bit
The same weekend last year was the lowest attendance of 2016 - maybe graduation parties and whatnot?

Still no attendance figures on the MLS boxscore page yet though. That's where I get them for my attendance bar charts.

It's not correct, there were 31 more people there than Booth announced.
FWIW being there I thought it looked pretty empty outside the bleachers on both sides. But that's completely perception and could be wrong.
I wasn't able to attend live on Saturday so was watching via FoxSportsGo on my laptop at home and the crowd looked pretty decent. 24k sounds about right.
