NO! It was a double header - two games for the price of one. :cool:

I thought it was more than that. There may not have been a ton of fans, but they were very passionate and made lots of noise. And other than Mexico, they probably wouldn't have got a higher attendance anywhere in CONCACAF.

Sad really, they only pulled in 10,000 for a double header? The Mutiny never had a chance. These games need to be played in larger city's like Chicago, New York, and Los Angles. You would atleast double the head count easy.

Well I've got good news. New York and L.A. are both hosting games.

Actually, I think most of the central American Nations would have sold out their stadiums. The only question is if their stadiums capacity is over 10,000

10,000 in Seattle with the US, Canada and Costa Rica? Pathetic.
Oh wait, this was hosted by CONCACAF.

What is the deal with the U.S. getting 15,831 at their game. That is really bad.
Is the Gold Cup marketing right? Is Seattle really that bad of a homer stadium for the U.S.? Does nobody really care about this tournament? What city will be able to pull off a good attendance?

I thought it was a decent crowd. Miami only got 10,000 for Wednesday's games.

Not for mid-week Gold Cup games it isn't. In 2003, I went to two sets of mid-week games in Foxboro, including a triple header with a Revs Game. I believe that the Gold-Cup-only night attendance was below 10,000. The other night was better, but that's just a lot of people only went for one game or a bit more.

Interesting. It would have been interesting to see what Salt Lake City or Houston would have gotten from the U.S. Team. Seems like summer time they could attract more for the U.S. men.

On a weekend night they could attract more for every team playing that day, but not everyone is willing to travel like that during the week. There was a triple header at Gillette in '03 that drew something like 35,000, but that was on a Saturday.

Hope the attendance continues to grow throughout the competition.

What is sad is if you exclude the 5,000 Mexicans that were there to wear their Chivas jerseys, & look at the Banamex & Telmex banners & the halftime spanish language commercials in the stadium monitor.....
