    I am sure he's talking about the attendance.

    Yeah, but that shows a lack of attention to detail. Some of the other points in his article were pretty suspect too. Claiming that teams are losing more attendance and money in recent years, but has nothing to back it up with.

    At the bottom of the article it lists the writer as a Junior Psych major. So yeah, its a College kid writing for his school paper. I was a bit troubled by the article itself, but once I saw that, I just laughed and moved on.

    Any time I see a college newspaper listed, I ignore it.

    Only 7,000 season tickets for the Union? Seems a bit low considering how Seattle and Toronto were doing by this point.

    I thought it was around 9500 season ticket holders already.

    Perhaps its in the article in the college newspaper that requires a subscription that almost nobody read. Derivative of the other anti-soccer columns in the Philly press based on error and selective data.

    It also said the Red Bulls played in Secaucus. (Would that it were true! That's about 15 minutes closer to NY than Harrison.) I'll tend to believe what I heard in the other thread that they're at 9,500 or so at last check.
