is the attendance under boxscore on mlssoccer.com accurate? LionNYC is that where you get the "official" attendance numbers from?

Yes, that's the official attendance number. Accurate? No idea. Official. Yes.

19,104

I take the win with 19,828 the official number.

Wow the official number was 19,828? Looked more like 14k if that.

What's worse...not to be able to sell tickets or people owning tickets and not caring to go?

To be fair, there was a lightning storm on the forecast and I was debating not to go bc rain delay would mean I don't get home till past midnight

Crowd filled in kinda nicely by the 25 minute mark

Wow. Perception is funny. I though for sure this was our smallest actual crowd this year, and maybe ever. I even made sure to check again several times during the game because we do often fill in late. I've no idea if I'm right or you are, but to the extent the official attendance number correlates to actual bodies, it supports the idea that the crowd was low, but not extremely so. (IE more favorable to your position).

 

[LostAnvil]

so we're currently averaging 20,371 "attendance" at home

I definitely noticed that, but they had some high shots overhead that showed most of the stadium and I was like whoa, that is sparse.

I arrived at the stadium 7:39pm. It was still early enough to get a “for the first 10,000 fans” Queens borough pin.
