2017 MLS Attendance Prediction Contest: Round 3 - New Players Welcome - Deadlines: Mar 18 2:00PM ET

NY surprises me. Cold weather?

 

I had to leave 20 minutes early to avoid hypothermia.

 

I'm sure there will be others that will proclaim this to be a sign of horrible things. Going to a match in the freezing cold is hardcore. Being hardcore is a little bit further along the demand curve.

 

10 years ago I ran a cross country race in 14 degree wind chill, with snow piled up on each side of the course, in a t-shirt and shorts. I've softened up.

 

25,527 in Orlando
16,150 in FC Dallas
19,282 in Kansas City
20,348 in Real Salt Lake
21,144 in Portland

 

If anyone complains about the attendance on the East Coast today, be aware that it is frigid and miserable and we just had a snowstorm a few days ago and there's still snow on the ground today.
It was cold, with sleet and freezing rain this afternoon.
To expect normal crowds for early season games with the NCAA tournament going on and ghastly weather is nuts!

 

@ Sedlie, did I submitted my numbers because in the spreadsheet shows only 12 rows?
