Stuttgart and Hannover have been promoted. Darmstadt and Ingolstadt were relegated. So no Bundesliga team is from a small town, and nearly every big team is in. This season the Bundesliga will break several records. I wonder wom many teams will decide to expand their stadiums.
The 2017-18 Bundesliga crowd average was 44,651. That's 13.7 million tickets, not too far from NFL with 17.8 million. The two relegated teams were Hamburg (50 k) and Köln (48 k),, which will make an impact. The two promoted teams are Nürnberg and Fortuna Düsseldorf, which got low 40 k in their last stints in Bundesliga.
The 2018-19 Bundesliga is now averaging 43,300 spectators. The lowest teams are Freiburg (24 k), Wolfsburg (24 k) and Mainz (26 k).
