    Surprised Orlando came up a little short of a sellout for this game. Great weekend with close to a 100K in attendance and some exciting games to watch. Doing the math and depending if Seattle can advance the final total will be around 700K for the playoffs.

    Getting closer to being able to cram enough people into our place to arrive at the long made up 27,000 capacity we claimed for about a decade, lol.

    Was a great and very packed atmosphere yesterday.

    Reading about the stadium, it says capacity is 25,500. Maybe they round up? I left work yesterday right before the game started and the Orlando broadcast was the Sirius XM broadcast on ESPN FC and I heard the deals you mentioned including getting Apple MLS Season Pass for the rest of the playoffs and next years 2025 season.

    According to the Orlando City website it was a sellout but not every seat was on sale. Seems somewhat silly.

    Did Atlanta set a permanent MLS Cup attendance record in 2018? No team plays in a stadium that big (except Atlanta themselves obviously).

    Garber would want that. Not sure the Galaxy would want to play there.

    I never thought of that. I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be at The Hard Rock given the ongoing lawsuit.

    Empty seats man.

    Copa was a disaster because there were visible seats despite it having the second highest average attendance in history and highest revenue on record.

    We'll ignore the fact that most liberatores matches have tons of empty seats. Only copa was a disaster.

    That comment seems ironic considering the source.

    I don't share my opinion I only report on Twitter activity. Also, something WAS wrong with the atmosphere of most games. It didn't feel the same as it did in 2016.
