Opening night numbers were depressed due to the thunderstorms that rolled in right before game time, but the Hammers still managed 3000+. 4/21 - Harrisburg @ Wilmington --------- 3682 Average--------------------------------------------3682
I went to your game saturday and came away thoroughly impressed. You have your own cool thing going on in Wilmington that I don't think exists in too many places yet. I blogged my experience, if you feel so inclined let me know what you think. I hope to make it back soon. http://deepinthepyramid.blogspot.com/
Thank you for the kind words. Very entertaining blog! I am glad you enjoyed yourself in Wilmington and hope you make it back down here to Legion soon!
Actually, next time Ill come without the First Lady in tow and maybe I can tailgate with the PCF? (not that you wouldn't have her, but she's not as big on "adventurous drinking" as I am!)
Good weather, College night and a lot of families. 4457 was the number I got from the press box on the way out, so it might change. 4/21 - Harrisburg @ Wilmington --------- 3682 4/28 - Pittsburgh @ Wilmington---------- 4457 Average--------------------------------------------4070
2482 for the 5/2 game against Antigua. Midweek School-night game with no real promotions to bring people out. 4/21 - Harrisburg @ Wilmington --------- 3682 4/28 - Pittsburgh @ Wilmington---------- 4457 5/02 - Antigua @ Wilmington------------- 2482 Total--------------------------------------------------10621 Average------------------------------------------------3540
5183- A great turnout for the 5/19 game against Charlotte. 4/21 - Harrisburg @ Wilmington --------- 3682 4/28 - Pittsburgh @ Wilmington---------- 4457 5/02 - Antigua @ Wilmington------------- 2482 5/19 - Charlotte @ Wilmington------------5183 Total--------------------------------------------------15804 Average------------------------------------------------3951
I just gotta say, I love the PCF. You guys do it right. There's only one game I can make this season, but I intend to enjoy the hell out of it (the last game in June). I'm trying to recruit some RaliHawk fans to come see for themselves. See you then.
Come on down! I still owe you a beer from last year, so introduce yourself and collect. I'm still hoping to make a Railhawks game later this year and by the end of this year if things work in a certain way, I'll be living closer to the Railhawks than Hammers.
I normally go up to the press box after every game to check attendance, but didn't make it up there after the crushing by CalFC. From what I could tell, attendance was very light-- I'm guessing about 1000, maybe a little more as people seemed to be still wandering in through the first half.
4792- A nice night, close game and good result. The Hammerheads are supposed to e-mail me the attendance numbers on the US Open Cup game against Cal FC, and I'll post them when I get them. 4/21 - Harrisburg @ Wilmington --------- 3682 4/28 - Pittsburgh @ Wilmington---------- 4457 5/02 - Antigua @ Wilmington------------- 2482 5/19 - Charlotte @ Wilmington------------5183 6/02 - Orlando City @ Wilmington-------4792 Total--------------------------------------------------20596 Average------------------------------------------------4119
Attendance for June 15 was 3371. Can't think of any reason for the drop-off, except maybe graduation ceremonies or other school-end activities. Regardless, this brings the average below 4000. 4/21 - Harrisburg @ Wilmington --------- 3682 4/28 - Pittsburgh @ Wilmington---------- 4457 5/02 - Antigua @ Wilmington------------- 2482 5/19 - Charlotte @ Wilmington------------5183 6/02 - Orlando City @ Wilmington-------4792 6/15- Richmond @ Wilmington----------3371 Total--------------------------------------------------23967 Average------------------------------------------------3995
Another big night on the Cape Fear. And I'm guessing the fireworks show after the game probably didn't hurt attendance. 4/21 - Harrisburg @ Wilmington --------- 3682 4/28 - Pittsburgh @ Wilmington---------- 4457 5/02 - Antigua @ Wilmington------------- 2482 5/19 - Charlotte @ Wilmington------------5183 6/02 - Orlando City @ Wilmington-------4792 6/15- Richmond @ Wilmington-----------3371 6/30- L. A. Blues @ Wilmington---------5146 Total--------------------------------------------------29113 Average------------------------------------------------4159
Attendance down from last week, but still good numbers. 4/21 - Harrisburg @ Wilmington --------- 3682 4/28 - Pittsburgh @ Wilmington---------- 4457 5/02 - Antigua @ Wilmington------------- 2482 5/19 - Charlotte @ Wilmington-------------5183 6/02 - Orlando City @ Wilmington--------4792 6/15- Richmond @ Wilmington------------3371 6/30- L.

Blues @ Wilmington-----------5146 7/07 - Richmond @ Wilmington-----------3903 Total--------------------------------------------------33016 Average------------------------------------------------4127
3358- Not bad numbers for a sultry Thursday night when the Wilmington Sharks baseball team are playing a home game next door. Yearly average still above 4000. 4/21 - Harrisburg @ Wilmington --------- 3682 4/28 - Pittsburgh @ Wilmington---------- 4457 5/02 - Antigua @ Wilmington------------- 2482 5/19 - Charlotte @ Wilmington-------------5183 6/02 - Orlando City @ Wilmington--------4792 6/15- Richmond @ Wilmington------------3371 6/30- L.

The annual "Pink Out" for Cancer charities helped the draw tonight.. Yearly average rose by one 4043. 4/21 - Harrisburg @ Wilmington --------- 3682 4/28 - Pittsburgh @ Wilmington---------- 4457 5/02 - Antigua @ Wilmington------------- 2482 5/19 - Charlotte @ Wilmington-------------5183 6/02 - Orlando City @ Wilmington--------4792 6/15- Richmond @ Wilmington------------3371 6/30- L.

A bit of a discrepancy this week as Charleston reports a crowd of 4657 at Legion while the Hammerheads claim 5377. No matter--it was an above average crowd that saw the win. I'm going with the Hammers number because... 1) It's the official number and 2) I think it's legit. The VIP tent was packed, the west side stands were crowded and I don't remember seeing so many kids on the field before a game..had to be at least 300. ...and thanks to the Regiment for coming up for the game. You guys were doing good work over there. 4/21 - Harrisburg @ Wilmington --------- 3682 4/28 - Pittsburgh @ Wilmington---------- 4457 5/02 - Antigua @ Wilmington------------- 2482 5/19 - Charlotte @ Wilmington-------------5183 6/02 - Orlando City @ Wilmington--------4792 6/15- Richmond @ Wilmington------------3371 6/30- L.

So here it is-- I was hoping for a Hammerheads win, 5000+ fans on "Fan Appreciation Night" and good weather... I got two out of three. 4/21 - Harrisburg @ Wilmington --------- 3682 4/28 - Pittsburgh @ Wilmington---------- 4457 5/02 - Antigua @ Wilmington------------- 2482 5/19 - Charlotte @ Wilmington-------------5183 6/02 - Orlando City @ Wilmington--------4792 6/15- Richmond @ Wilmington------------3371 6/30- L.
