 Posted: 04/10/16 10:25 am ::: NWSL's Orlando Pride expected to break the attendance record |
Reply  |

The NWSL's Orlando Pride are expecting ~30,000 fans for their home opener on April 23 at the Citrus Bowl. This would break the NWSL record set by Portland(21,144) for largest crowd. The Pride have also sold over 7,000 season tickets. With two weeks to go, the Pride is contemplating opening a small section of the upper bowl to fill demand.

If this MLS-NWSL partnership is the key to the NWSL's long term success, I think expansion teams in Salt Lake City & San Jose(among others) will be in the immediate future.

Comparing the MLS owned teams vs. the non-MLS owned teams is such a big difference. I wouldn't mind down the road if the Red Bulls buy SkyBlue & other MLS buy their NWSL counterparts(Chicago, Boston, Washington, Kansas City, Seattle). Western New York is the only NWSL team in a non-MLS city. Here's each teams home opener attendance. WNY has their opener
ATTENDANCE
1. Orlando - 23,404
2. Portland - 16,073
3. Kansas City - 8,022
4. Houston - 7,440
5. Seattle - 3,987
6. Boston - 3,743
7. Washington - 3,578
8. SkyBlue - 2,571
9. Chicago - 2,529

With today's match at North Carolina drawing 4,068 the league, over 27 matches, has drawn 172,244 for an average of 6,379 per match.
This number should be twice that, but it handicapped by a few teams that play in "stadiums" that only fit 5-6K.

The difference for this season is Utah replacing Kansas City and Boston folding. I feel that's the main reason for the uptick in [average] attendance. Houston's numbers are disturbing for a MLS owned team. I'm sure the league will see an even bigger uptick with LA and possibly Vancouver & Toronto joining next season.

NWSL tops 6,000 for first time in league history.

Again, mostly due to Kansas City & Boston folding and adding in Utah.

His Seattle numbers are too high. Seattle drew 45,885 with an average of 3,824
League still broke 6,000, but at 6,024 not 6,060.
