    You'd better check that NYC number since MLSNet.com has half that.

    54,432 in Chicago
    22,108 in NE
    8,324 at Metros
    16,816 in KC
    27,000 for Clasico

    The 16k figure was because of a yearly grocery store promotion called "Break the Record Night." Basically, you buy ANYTHING from the store, you get a free ticket.

    who else watched chicago-crew yesterday? I know the 54k was for the Real Madrid game but how many do you think were there for the MLS game? On tv it looked like MAYBE 5k. It was pretty pathetic IMO.

    Apparently you never saw the camera pan up? There was a good 25-30K there for the FIRST HALF! There were many in the upper decks and north goal which is rarely open so the crowd was pretty spread out for the Fire match. There are some photos over on the Fire board that show what I mean.

    thanks i'll have to check that out. Apparently I didn't see that and I watched most of the game. Did they raise prices so much that the usual Fire fans had to move to the Bob Eucker seats?

    Sounds like something Lewis Grizzard used to say about Georgia Tech college football.

    "Used to be if you bought Big Mac you'd get a dollar off your Tech ticket. This year if you order fries the defensive secondary will come to your home and wax your car for you."

    A bucket of nice looking goals this week too. Glad to see the fans rewarded with some of that.
