Guess The Attendance 2019 - NYCFC vs. New Jersey (August 24)

Winner. Actual 28,895. Lowest attended derby to date.

It looked noticeably less than last year. Quite sad that we couldn't bring in 30k for a derby.

But... Still much more than what they can pull at rba

And you could not have asked for better weather.

Considering how good the team is this year and all the data we have, I think it's pretty clear there has been a David Villa effect on attendance. Which makes sense -- the guy is a global superstar, and everyone wanted to see him play live. I wonder whether the business side is pressuring the sporting side to try to sign another big name for next season, because it seems pretty clear to me that's a main reason for the lesser attendance this year.
