Chicago vs. Columbus drew 23,319 at Soldier Field. Nothing yet on RSL vs. Colorado. I saw two flawed AI-generated figures of more than 34,000 and 23,000, but First America Field only holds 21,000 max (or so I thought).
I'm pretty sure the Earthquakes have beaten that at Stanford. Edited: 2008 39,872 at the Oakland Coliseum. I'm guessing they were in last place at the time.
This weekend's average is at 25,011 (325,137 total). Since RSL's stadium holds around 21,000, the average should dip slightly once that number is known. Credit to the Revs fans for showing up so far, despite the team playing poorly this season.

We're bad, but we're not that bad. I'm guessing they're missing at least one of our games. I would have expected to see something around 13K.
There's a typo in there. Nashville 16,223 Houston 13,432 LAFC 14,386 Dallas 7,492 San Jose 1,557 should be 15,557 Vancouver 11,190 The Dallas snow day didn't help. Average should be 13,047. I sent the administrator an ultra, ultra polite and friendly email which they will probably think is rude.
I wonder if they're lumping in US Open Cup matches in the case of the US clubs, and Canadian Championship matches in Vancouver's case?
No sure how many of you guys cross-post on reddit, but someone has been running an attendance tracker over there. Here is the newest one. Of note is that Colorado is the only club with attendance percentage down by double digits. They also trail the next lowest team's average by over 4k. Weather has played some role in that, as has the recent Wednesday game. The average will probably come up as the weather gets nicer, but I it'd be naive to believe KSE's negligence and running the organization so poorly for so long hasn't had an impact. I would be very surprised if they don't finish the season still at the bottom. Granted, I'd actually be interested to see what the comparison looks like when you examine median attendance rather than average attendance. Colorado would still be last place, but the range is probably less dramatic since that eliminates the Messi-bump some teams have been getting.
If it wasn't for the snow day against Dallas their average would be around 14,400, which is pretty consistent with their average since DSG Park opened.
Well that would be cool but Revs, Sounders, Atlanta, Fire, Whitecaps, and Toronto would all have some level of conflict with NFL and CFL teams. Weather isn't too much a problem here in the US but Canada may be apprehensive about it. Broadcasting isn't so much a problem now thanks to Apple so nobody is fighting for who gets who. Even for 2026 I still see us taking a long break mid-season and then picking up by August (even then 2022 was compressed down a bit, so expect some competitions not to happen). Expect a mid December Cup that year. Had the US and Mexico not given up on hosting the 2027 WWC, we'd probably have a ton of teams on long road trips or a ton of doubleheaders that July (though if we win 2031, expect something like that). Either way the league is basically a summer league and will stay that way.
He was being sarcastic. And winter weather would a huge problem across the US, even in some of the states that are considered "warm".
Thats what happens when you have the worst ownership group in the league by a comfortable margin. It'd be nice if MLS took a break from 24/7 promoting Messi's Amazing Traveling Circus™ and astroturfing the Leagues Cup™ as hard as they can, and do something about fixing markets that have fallen behind.
Which it's done repeatedly, although the Chicago reboot has been a bit of a disaster. Colorado is getting attendances consistent with previous seasons. There aren't many countries around the world where the 29th highest attended club is averaging more than 10,000, or many cities where the 5th most popular team is averaging more than 5 figures. If they want that to boost attendances at DSG they're going to have to do something spectacular. My guess is that Colorado will magically get a home game against Inter Miami next season and season ticket sales will sky rocket.
LOL, no. MLS is not going to waste one of Miami's three trips to the Western Conference on a market like Denver. Not unless Kroenke backs it up with a significant investment plan to "relaunch" the Rapids, which there is absolutely no sign of.
60,000 at Mile High would be an excellent advert for the Rapids. They also have a pretty good, if thin, squad this season, just a crap coach.
