Soccer per-game attendance now above NBA/NHL

By Tangotiger, 01:31 PM

This is a mild surprise.

There are a few points that need to be noted:
1. Soccer stadiums hold more people than hockey and basketball arenas. If the Flyers sell out every game, well, that’s that.

2. I presume an average hockey and basketball ticket costs alot more than a soccer ticket. Again, if the Devils aren’t selling out with the 70$ per game ticket, they likely would sell out if the tickets averaged 25$ each. (I have no idea how much a soccer game ticket is.)

3. NHL and NBA seasons are 82 games each. Presumably, soccer is much shorter (I haven’t checked, but 30 games or so sounds about a typical season).
