Guess The Attendance 2025 - NYCFC vs. Orlando (March 8)

[LionNYC]

The Price is Right rules, as always, closest to the actual attendance as reported on MLSsoccer.com without going over. Guesses must be posted before gates open the day of the match (i.e. 6:00 PM ET). Should the attendance not be reported to a specific number, there will be no winner.

Watching on TV that sounds wildly high. Can anyone at the stadium weigh in?

Supporters and bleachers looked pretty full from where I sat. I can't speak to the rest. The club also gave away those extra tickets to founding members and might include those regardless of whether they were used.

Yeah that was not 25,800. I was sitting in 129. (Thanks Lion!) The bleachers and supporter section were full, but behind the other goal was maaaaybe half full? I can't speak for our side because I was sitting there and couldn't see up.

I think they counted all potential comped founding member tickets even if founding members didn’t access or use them.

Did anyone get a sense of how many founding members were listed on the scoreboard scroll? My rough guess is just over 1,000. About 25 names every 10 seconds - so 150 per minute. The loop seemed to be about 7 or 8 minutes, which would be 1,050 to 1,200. I've heard similar whisper numbers in the past year.
