    Best thing to do is get out of Dodge while they still can. I'm sure they could find another city to play in if they need to.

    5963 in San Antonio.

    The standard 3K for the Strikers.

    Good crowd for the New York Cosmos - 3rd best of the season, much better than the last few crowds but still lots of work to do to keep them upwards of 5K. Two home games left in the Fall Season.

    Minnesota continues to do well.

    zero (0.00) average useful anti-NASL comments from the historic mr. troll.

    Good night for Cosmos
    Good night for Scorps
    Good night for MNU
    Rowdies still going in right direction
    Strikers, ain't happening over night, what'd you expect?

    Depends on what they (or anyone who buys out their franchise rights) are in soccer for.

    If building a good minor league franchise is their ceiling, Birmingham is a good location: big enough city, nearby, younger population, no chance of MLS so they're unlikely to be squashed by another Blank.

    If it's an MLS "promotion"-capable operation (like Indy 11 or Sacramento, but slower if the current owners), they need a big market: Detroit, Cleveland, San Diego, Baltimore, St. Louis and Nashvillle are the only top-30 media markets without pro soccer.

    IF NYC crowd was a straight crowd without a special promo it's real good and that need to be the average target.

    Solid and stable around the league with hope in Ft. Lauderdale.

    St. Pete. :)

    Would have been more in Tampa.

    Quick averages....

    Indy 10,437
    Minnesota 8,443
    San Antonio 6,723
    New York 4,708
    Tampa Bay 4,627
    Ottawa 4,565
    Carolina 4,412
    Atlanta 4,172
    Edmonton 3,456
    Ft. Lauderdale 3,262
    LEAGUE 5,532

    Spring: 5,346
    Fall: 5,655

    21 games left. League projects to a 5,507 average, which would be the D2 record.


    (In other news, someone hacked the NASL's Facebook. Pretty funny.)

    Always good to have a few people running numbers to check work.

    Of course, it would be nice if the league published totals to check against.

    Nice number for the Cosmos. That type of crowd should really be the baseline though not one of the highlights. Hopefully they can keep it up for the last two.

    They'd get those crowds all the time if the MLS bots and haters weren't actively conspiring against them.

    No doubt about that, historic brands at D2 level are a tough sell

    Am I missing something? I have no idea what this "BOOM!" is in response to?

    That is more of an "OH SNAP!" than a "BOOM!". Boom is more of, "Some major news just happened about Atlanta moving to Birmingham just happened." While, oh snap is more of, "You just got put in your place."

    Anyways on a board as active of the Big Soccer NASL boards it really isn't surprising that there is only 1 person talking about Birmingham. Indy gets 10k+ fans to go to the game but only have about 4 regular posters.
