I've got some holes in my collection of US Open Cup attendance figures (not as many as I thought now that I look at the whole list). I'm in the process of giving TheCup.us a massive redesign for the 100th tournament, so the more help I can get with some of these side projects, the better. Here are some games where I'm missing attendance figures if you can track them down: 2012 Round 1 (May 15) NY Greek American Atlas at Reading United Fresno Fuego at Stanislaus United Turlock Express Round 2 (May 22) Atlanta Silverbacks at Georgia Revolution 2011 Round 1 (June 14) Brooklyn Italians at NY Pancyprian Freedoms Phoenix SC at Rochester Rhinos 2010 Round 1 (June 15) Charlotte Eagles at Carolina RailHawks Central Florida Kraze at Miami FC FC Tampa Bay at Legends FC Round 2 (June 22) FC Tampa Bay at Miami FC Round 3 (June 29) Austin Aztex at Chivas USA 2009 Round 1 (June 9) Lynch's FC at Miami FC 2008 Round 1 (June 10) Clearwater International FC at Charlotte Eagles Yakima Reds at Harrisburg City Islanders Boston Olympiakos at Western Mass Pioneers Cleveland City Stars at Michigan Bucks Bradenton Academics at Miami FC Pittsburgh Riverhounds at AAC Eagles Atlanta Silverbacks at Austin Aztex NY Pancyprian Freedoms at Real Maryland (June 13) Round 2 (June 24) Cleveland City Stars at Minnesota Thunder Real Maryland at Carolina RailHawks Atlanta Silverbacks at Miami FC Hollywood United at Seattle Sounders 2007 Round 1 (June 12) Western Mass Pioneers at Danbury United Lynch's Irish Pub FC at Charlotte Eagles Azzurri at Atlanta Silverbacks Cincinnati Kings at Bavarian SC California Victory at BYU Cougars Miami FC at El Paso Patriots Round 2 (June 26) Bavarian SC at Carolina RailHawks Charlotte Eagles at Atlanta Silverbacks Round 3 (July 10) California Victory at Colorado Rapids 2006 Round 1 (June 15) Cape Cod Crusaders at Carolina Dynamo Round 3 (July 12) Atlanta Silverbacks at Wilmington Hammerheads 2005 Round 1 (June 15) Azzurri at Dallas Roma FC Pittsburgh Riverhounds at Des Moines Menace AAC Eagles at Chicago Fire Premier Orange County Blue Star at El Paso Patriots Round 2 (June 29) Dallas Roma FC at Wilmington Hammerheads Long Island Rough Riders at Ocean City Barons Charlotte Eagles at El Paso Patriots Round 3 (July 13) Des Moines Menace at Atlanta Silverbacks 2004 Round 1 (June 8) Legends FC at DFW Tornadoes Round 2 (June 15) San Diego Gauchos at Boulder Rapids Reserve Sacramento Knights at Utah Blitzz Round 3 (June 30) Portland Timbers at Utah Blitzz Atlanta Silverbacks at Carolina Dynamo Virginia Beach Mariners at Dallas Burn Round 4 (July 20) Colorado Rapids at Dallas Burn 2003 - None 2002 Round 1 (June 9) South Jersey Barons at Vereinigung Erzgebirge Real Madrid at Greenville Lions Round 1 (June 12) AAC Eagles at New York Freedoms Memphis Express at Texas Spurs Utah Blitzz at Chico Rooks Round 2 Seattle Sounders at Utah Blitzz (June 25) Hampton Roads Mariners at South Jersey Barons (June 26) Memphis Express at Atlanta Silverbacks (June 26) 2001 Round 1 Mexico SC at Central Coast Roadrunners (June 9) Uruguay SC at Miami Strike Force (June 13) Round 2 (June 27) Uruguay SC at Miami Fusion Round 3 (July 11) Pittsburgh Riverhounds at El Paso Patriots 2000 Round 1 Mexico SC at San Gabriel Valley Highlanders (June 4) << also need goalscorers Bavarian SC at Chicago Sockers (June 6) Round 2 (June 14) New Jersey Stallions at Miami Fusion 1999 Round 1 (June 20) Bavarian SC at Carolina Dynamo 1998 Round 1 Los Lobos at Charlotte Eagles (June 12) San Gabriel Valley Highlanders at Arizona Sahuaros (June 12) << also need goalscorers Jackson Chargers at Orlando Nighthawks (June 16) Round 2 Chicago Stingers at Hershey Wildcats (June 23) Delaware Wizards at Nashville Metros (June 24) 1997 Round 1 Albuquerque Geckos at Central Coast Roadrunners (June 20) << also need goalscorers San Francisco Bay Seals at Inter SC (June 20) Mid-Michigan Bucks at Wilmington Hammerheads (June 24) Mequon United at Chicago Stingers (June 24) Lincoln Brigade at Philadelphia Freedom (June 25) Central Jersey Riptide at Los Lobos (June 25) Bridgeport Italians at Rhode Island Stingrays (June 26) Round 2 (July 7) California Jaguars at Central Coast Roadrunners 1996 Round 1 San Jose Oaks at California Jaguars (June 28) McCormick Kickers at Ft.

Another one bites the dust .... 500 attended the Everett BigFoot vs. Seattle Sounders game in 1995 according to the recap in the Seattle Times. Thanks to Frank McDonald for that one.
Yes. Apparently I missed the episode where the NASL had all their box scores from this year archived on their website. Here's one from your neck of the woods. Is this right? 5,816 fans showed up at the Peoria Sports Complex to watch the Arizona Sahuaros (D3 Pro) beat the San Gabriel Valley Highlanders (PDSL) in the 1st Round of the 1998 tournament? (June 12, 1998) I have that one down, but with question marks beside it ... I wish I would have made a note of where I found that one. Doesn't seem right. If it is correct, that's the record for biggest Round 1 attendance in the Modern Pro Era.
I don't know where I found it, either, but it appears to have been the same source as yours. I'm skeptical of that one. Real, real skeptical.
By this point, I don't remember, because I see so many of the things. But I usually go your site, local news reports, team websites, twitter.

Maybe here: http://business.highbeam.com/2872/article-1G1-107602980/geckos-try-turn-around-vs-arizona Or somewhere on the website but you'll need the trail to open it. Good luck in your endeavors.
Got another one ... 847 for Cleveland City Stars at Michigan Bucks in 2008 (Fun fact: only the 2nd US Open Cup game ever played indoors)
That article looks like a preview of the game, but it probably wouldn't hurt to pay for a trial. I would need to pick a time where I'll have enough free time to get the most use out of it in that seven days. Thanks for finding that.

I got details on the 1998 Sahuaros-Highlanders game from the Phoenix newspaper: Sahuaros goals--Edson Rico 20th minute, Don Gaillard 33rd minute Highlanders goal--Sarkis Banyan "just over four minutes to play" The article does report "a franchise record crowd of 5,816", and says that the game was played at Dobson High School in Mesa.
That's fantastic. Can you send me a screenshot of that newspaper article? I thought I picked the Phoenix newspapers clean, but maybe I missed it. josh.hakala@thecup .us I talked to Petar Draksin from the Sahuaros last week and I told him about the 5,816 attendance figure and I asked him "is it possible that you drew more than 5,000 fans to an Open Cup game against an amateur team no one had heard of in the middle the week. He assures me that 5,000+ is an accurate estimate.
Here you go, Josh: (FWIW, you and I already had that attendance figure, apparently, because it's in my spreadsheet and likely yours.)
Yeah, we both have that number bit it has always puzzled me. And I've always wondered how accurate it is. We've had a few attendance figures where it was a typo and I thought maybe this one was like 578 or something. So I just wanted to get confirmation because I couldn't find the original source. I knew that the Sahuaros drew some decent crowds for a D3 team but 5000+ on a weeknight against a random amateur team that no one has heard of seemed like a bit much.
