We were probably actually in Week 7 on Tuesday, when Portland drew 3,101. Tonight, Charlotte got 483 against Toronto. Portland is playing right now. Updated figures at www.kenn.com/soccer when all is said and done.
We were on week 7 on Tuesday (week 7 started Monday). Anyway Portland drew 4817 against Vancouver tonight (Thursday).
Thank you. It seems as though unless I missed something, there's a little revisionist history going on now. The official figures I got from the league list Portland's second home game crowd on 5/14 as 4,037 when I thought I originally had it at 2,722 (?). Also, Calgary picked up an additional 50 fans on their third home game, going from 150 (old figure) to 200 (new figure). Averages are updated now.
The crowd at that match was 2772, as Allison Andrews match report confirms. http://www.soccercityusa.com/timbers/cal051403.htm
A few days later, it was officially changed to the higher total. Don't ask me why.. but officially, it's 4,037 now.
Indiana's game Saturday is after a big Latin tournament (http://www.indystar.com/print/articles/0/046927-3220-036.html). It'll be interesting to see how that goes.
2,711 in Richmond for the Cincinnati game Friday night. Vancouver was the only other game of the night.
The Storm officials have implimented a policy change and they are charging the team, the opponent, the ball boy and the officials for Tix, thus the extra 50. (The home bench is row ZZ, seats 1-43 (odd), the away bench is row AA, 2-44 (even) the 4th official and near side linesman get tix for row YY, seat 1 - 3 (odd), the far side linesman and ball boy are in row YY, seats 2-4 (even) and the ref gets his very own row XX.) There is some talk of increasing the home roster and adding another ball boy to help home attendance.
attendance any word on the attendance from pittsburgh tonight mutts? how about the rest of the games? The only others i can think of off the top of my head were toronto @ atlanta, and syracuse @ minnesota.
Hey! He can't talk to our team that way only we can talk to our team that way. -Boone to Otter-Animal House (paraphrased)
While we're at Animal House, gotta work in the "Is that a PLEDGE pin on your uniform" line into it too!!!
foosball, I have heard not many showed up on a cold night in Indy. Were you there? BTW, I'm hoping to attend Saturday against Calgary. My first match in over a year. So I'm missing figures for Sunday's Montreal/Calgary and El Paso/Cincinnati matches, which doesn't surprise me, since those are hard places to get numbers out of.
Out of town so I wasn't at the game. The Sun put it at a "record-breaking" 1000. Apparently was a nice day and a weekend, so counting the parking guy and a couple of lost joggers, it's possible.
kenntomasch I was unable to go, but a buddy of mine was there and impressed with the crowd despite the weather.I think the Latino Night promotion and the tournament they had kept the numbers repectable. The next match I can make is the 15th v Seattle-should be a good game.Soundersfan-are you going to make it!?
At least the Sounders front office is trying: Talk about hype for a game! Don't forget this is also "get in free" night for the fans who saw the San Jose Exhibition.... Sounders Press Release: Armed Forces Recognized On Union 76 Mini-Ball Give-A-Way Night As The Sounders Battle The Whitecaps To Stay In First Courtesy of the Seattle Sounders 3.Jun.2003 (Seattle, Wash.) - - This weekend the Seattle Sounders and Vancouver Whitecaps square off in a battle for the leading spot in the Pacific Division. While the Sounders will do battle on the field, they will also recognize those who have served in our Nation’s Armed Forces. This Saturday, June 7th, is Sounders Military Appreciation Day at Seahawks Stadium. In appreciation of the effort and duties of those who serve in the U.S. Military the Sounders are offering a special $6.00 dollar ticket for all of those who present their Military I.D. at the stadium box office. Other activities include the playing of both the Canadian and U.S. National Anthems by the 133rd Army National Guard Band from Camp Murray in Tacoma along with an All Joint Services Military Color Guard representing each of the Armed Forces in the United States. The highlight of activities will be a two plane fly-over at Seahawks Stadium, the two planes from McChord Air Force Base in Tacoma will kick off the game as they glide over the field. The fly over was arranged by Sounders Goalkeeper Rich Cullen, who serves in the U.S. Air Force Reserve at McChord. Cullen is currently ranked first in the A-League in shutouts with four, and is fifth in the league with a 0.537 goals against average (GAA). The game this weekend against the Whitecaps is the only home game for the Sounders in the month of June and is also Union 76 Mini Ball Give-A-Way Night. The first 2,500 fans through the gate will receive a promotional Union 76/Sounders mini-ball. The Sounders and the Whitecaps have played to two draws in their two meetings so far this season. The last tie was at home with a 0-0 score on May 25th at Seahawks Stadium. This game could help determine the current leader in the division; the Whitecaps are trailing the Sounders by a miniscule three points with 11. The Sounders have 14 points with a 4-1-2 record. The Sounders are 2-1-1 at Seahawks Stadium this season. Game time is set for 7:00pm.
