For those of you posting weather forecasts, please use your discretion and only selectively post the ones that don't show rain.
Possible rain and showers Sunday - non STH may be waiting to see the forecast one day out before pulling the trigger. As it is, there are 20K STH and as of last count only about 1.5K seats left in the lower tier which would mean we're somewhere around 33K. I bet we push 36-38K for the game - plus, the team is running a special sale today (until 5pm) on tix using the promo code "3points" after yesterday's win.
Looks like they opened up more sections in the 200's. God Dammit, now I have to go to Ticketmaster and count again. 
weather.com has the rain as AM showers, not to bad since the game is at 5PM, then again game isn't until Sunday. rain or not still can't wait for the first game. last year was an amazing game of excitement against TFC. Hopefully our defense straightens out for giovinco.
I'd say roughly 2,200-2,300 left. If it means anything, the majority of those seats are in the Audi, Delta and that area directly behind home plate and under the back stop sections.
Can't see the 300's being opened Sunday, but still should be in the 30,000 range.
Anybody seen my meds?

Whatever it's at will be quite a bit higher than opening day at RB..... 21,303 is pathetic for the defending Supporter's Shield holder..... and doubly so because yesterday was a beautiful day to be at a game
have you seen the pictures? i dont even think it was half that.
Orlando had 60,147. From the MLS article:
"Orlando City did indeed #FillTheBowlAgain on Sunday, drawing 60,147 fans to the Citrus Bowl for their insane 2-2 draw against Real Salt Lake in the club’s MLS season opener.
The crowd was easily the largest in MLS on Sunday, and was the fifth-largest in the world over the weekend, trailing only Borussia Dortmund’s huge home match against Bayern Munich, Real Madrid’s home contest vs. Celta Vigo, Club América’s match against Morelia and the River Plate-Boca Juniors Superclasico in Argentina.
MLS averaged 26,152 fans at its 10 matches on opening day, good for sixth in the world in average attendance over the weekend."

That is outstanding! I took a peek at the schedule and there should be some pretty big crowds next week too.
Not surprised by Orlando - opening day with Florida weather is made for outdoor sports; hell, even if it rains in Florida, it's a warm rain so you don't get chilled to the bone.
I haven't looked to see which games were player where yesterday, but I'm curious how many of the leading attendance-getters were on the road like us ? Both RB & Chicago we crappy last year and they got Home games which skews the Avg downward. Luckily Seattle was home with 39K, so at least they were there to prop up the bottom feeders. Hell, even LA sucked it up with only 25K.... for being a super club, they have a super-average following....
Stubhub capacity is only 27k. I really hope whoever builds ours goes big. I understand the empty seat complaints, but shit, if we keep trending upwards we could rival Man City (53892 v. Villa - capacity 60k). If you build it, they will come!
Then they should have filled all 27K - for LA not to sell out their season opener is ridiculous. When LAFC opens up, they're going to curb stomp the Galaxy....
With perhaps 2.5k seats left I think it is nearly certain we will see a "paper" sellout. If they pump up the giveaways enough as they did last year they could probably "sell out" without selling another ticket.
I'm surprised sales are so slow in the Audi club. Better view and better food than the Delta club for only slightly more money.

There are a lot more seats left open than I would like, but my guess is that we will see all (or nearly all) be sold. Might be some left in the spaces around home plate.
My guess is that we end up around 30,000 - maybe a tad less.
Remember that last year, we only once ended up with 30,000 in a game where we didn't open up the top levels - and that was the Columbus game, in which the Club opened up every seat in the lower section, and we ended up at 30,018. I'm not sure where the lower capacity estimate of 33-34,000 is coming from, but that's way too high.

Really nice breakdown of how Toronto stifled New Jersey and used counter attacks to get the road win.
Our boys will have their work cut out for them.

There have been a few posts asking about the Ticket Inquiry Megathread which was locked down at the end of last season, and no responses. If it's going to be reopened it's probably time. to do so. Or we could start a new one. Or if the mods would rather we not have one I think it would be helpful to announce that.
