Tough to tell...they had a long delay so i'm sure not many stayed around. Hmm i'm not really excited about those numbers. Not bad, but certainly not good overall.
I hope you all understand I was being sarcastic. I probably should have included some emoji to signal that.

No idea if you know some español http://deportetotalusa.com/audio-nasl-alessandro-nesta-130-am-es-demasiado-tarde-para-jugar-futbol/ The article says that some 7000 tickets were sold but due to the waiting and the rain some 6000 fans went home early Also it says that after the 3 hours delay the product ON the field was not attractive
which is fine, you count the number of sold tickets. Can't re-sale a sold ticket. Really crappy situation - I guess lots of people showed up for that game, hope it doesn't turn people off too much. Weather has been a HUGE pain in the butt this year for MLS/NASL games, more than I can remember in the past. Not to mention a bunch of lightning delays this year.
Sean Flynn, the CEO of the Miami FC, now says that fans that had bought a ticket for last game should contact the front office to receive (for free) a ticket for another Miami FC regular season game
Meanwhile, Jacksonville had a contest and first prize was two free tickets. Second prize was four free tickets.
So I'm assuming then that coffee during the game is only for closer's then, not much coffee being sold at the stadium I'm guessing.
Very poor number for Jax - even 3,472 would have been low IMO, and this is 1k less really hope Jax does not fall in the crap zone.
Armada marketing needs a serious reboot. Last year, the games had a great atmosphere, big crowds, and just a fun feel...even though the team wasn't very good. This year, marketing sucks, the team is not good, and the in-stadium atmosphere is not nearly as good. My wife who hates soccer enjoyed going to games last year because of the fun festive atmosphere. Last night, she said to me "Are you having fun? I feel like we are wasting our time." The game was actually well played by both teams but the crowd and atmosphere was super flat.
LOL you clearly don't understand what it means when it rains in the Caribbean. Islanders attendance was somewhere around 3k which is where I expect PRFC to land on and stay. The main difference between both club in terms of attendance is that most big Islanders games where do to heavy ticket give always. Tom Payne has stated that free tickets is something he is not going to do.
