Thanks Profiled. Of the numbers we are in the dark about, I am speculating that Chivas is likely the lowest and probably smaller than Colorado.
The Rapids average attendance is quite decent when you consider the season ticket base. Probably one of the higher multiples in the league. I wonder if they are strong in another category we can't see like group sales for individual games.
Mainly youth soccer I think. IIRC Marcus Myrick (who posts here on the Rapids forum from time to time) has been honored multiple times by the league for being the best group sales guy league-wide in a given year. The Dick complex hosts two of the biggest youth tournaments in the state every summer so that helps and I know last year they did some work with youth tournaments in Boulder and Highlands Ranch to get the teams to come to the Dick for the game after the tournament finished up earlier in the day. There may have even been some buses involved.
Fabulous thread, if only we could get such exact numbers from the other clubs (but maybe with not such an info leaky way).

I don't know if it's enough for "unconfirmed", but the ESPN announcers during the SKC/LA game said SKC's season ticket base was about 12,500, which would match what the reports have been about the increase in STH since last year.
I think that is worth noting. We can still keep the 2011 number in place and add this one in the unconfirmed category with a note of where the information came from.

I know you are just kidding around but I think we all can speculate that at least one or two of the "missing" numbers may be lower than Colorado. And in the end, season tickets are wonderful but there are many ways to crack the attendance egg and Colorado is obviously making decent headway.
There was a huge fight about what being "confirmed" meant, and the author of the other thread disagreed with a majority of the regulars in the thread, so to avoid a continued fight, I started a new thread.
has anyone tried emailing someone at the LA organization? if it was announced, they might not have an issue verifying the number.
Can you provide some more information? What number was announced where? All we have for this thread is http://www.sportsbusinessdaily.com/Journal/Issues/2012/02/27/Franchises/AEG-Sports.aspx If you have something more recent please share.
someone posted in in the now close ST thread. lemmy see if i can find it. EDIT: i had it muddled up. it was the KC season ticket number announced during the game vs LA, not the la number: https://www.bigsoccer.com/community/...s-for-each-team.1848332/page-11#post-25480315
Thanks! Now that we have a single thread we can keep track of this stuff easier. Post what you find and we can update the list with more/newer info.
I write here because the thread that i create has been closed,do not quite understand because if you are creating a second thread closes the more old and not the newest but good i will participate in this if I can even though the idea was mine and the work was shared between all now it seems that this thread is the original
