there's also PDL & PSL, though I don't know if these numbers are available, and there's also college attendance.

i've often wondered myself about the TOTAL amount of soccer attendance in the U.S. it must be huge.



also, under "Other Friendlies", you realize you're talking about all the Mexican club friendlies plus the Mexican national team friendlies, which is also pretty substantial.

I have Open Cup numbers somewhere. I'll get to them. I have PDL numbers from this year as well, and can probably round up the PSL numbers.

Don't forget the MISL - those numbers are on my site (http://www.kenn.com/soccer).
