Since Columbus isn't going to cooperate, I'm willing to accept the decision to scrap that game, or just pick some random number........oh, I don't know......something like.......12 thousand.........one hundred........just pulling it out of my....and 73. Let's see what that looks like: 12,173; Yea, I say use that arbitrary figure and work from there.
Thursday, September 6th DC @ Chivas, 10:30pm = 12,500 Saturday, September 8th Chicago @ Columbus, 7:30pm = 15,600 RSL @ Houston, 8:30pm = 14,800 TFC @ FCD, 8:30pm = 12,900 Colorado @ LA, 10:30pm = 27,000 Sunday, September 9th Revs @ DC, 3:00pm = 18,500 RBNY @ Chivas, 8:00pm = 10,500
Thursday, September 6th DC @ Chivas, 10:30pm = 10,720 Saturday, September 8th Chicago @ Columbus, 7:30pm = 13,900 RSL @ Houston, 8:30pm = 13,600 TFC @ FCD, 8:30pm = 13,500 Colorado @ LA, 10:30pm = 27,000 Sunday, September 9th Revs @ DC, 3:00pm = 18,880 RBNY @ Chivas, 8:00pm = 9,600
I'd use the number from the Dispatch until the league tells us otherwise. Though considering that MLS hasn't released the attendance number yet, I suppose it still might change.

That's kinda the problem. I'd really like to use MLS' official number. I have the stats done for the week, but really want the league to give up that number.
I'm fine w/ the Dispatch numbers. This competition is all in fun, so just go ahead and get it over w/, I say.
16,104 in H-Town. 16,790 in D-Town. If anybody guessed under 15K for C'bus and 27K for LA... you're sc-rewed this week.
22,881 according FSC. EDIT: I actually typed out 22,735 for my prediction for this game, but then added 1K more b/c everybody was predicting a sell-out. You bastards!!
According to The Washington Post's Dan Steinberg, United has already sold over 18,000 tickets for the match Vs NE tomorrow @ 3pm, and expects a crowd of OVER 20,000. I also forgot, this is not only part of the Beckham 4 pack, it is also one of the 4 ticket exchange dates (meaning those that had tickets to an earlier match they could not attend, could exchange them and got tickets to this match. Im thinking its going to push the attendance to probably in the 22,000 to 24,000 range. Awesome!
Alright, alright. The sc-rewed line starts here. Although it's nice to actually be low on so many predictions... except LA of course. Man, what a mess: Chivas plays entertaining, winning soccer and can't draw. Galaxy can draw, but can't win.
Don't feel bad. I'm half-way down the line, and seeing that we Galaxy fans are already stocking up for the Losers Lounge on MLS Rivalries, I'll float you a shot of rum. I've got 2 different types of Cuban rum, a couple of hard to find Puerto Rican rums, Brugal [/sign of the cross] from Santo Domingo [/sign of the cross] and a smattering of stuff from throughout the Caribbean and Circum-Caribbean. What'll it be?
Tell me about it, Chivas USA draws 9K on a night that they were gving: "Free Beer!", A Free Concert (Akwid) 2 for 1 special. On the other hand you have the Galaxy which is in last place, worst team in MLS, none of its big stars played, practically eliminated from playoffs, overpriced tickets, parking and yet it manages to pull in almost 23K. WoW!
