Re: Perceived attendandance, week 22 I was counting from my couch in St. Louis and there were only 21,501 in actual attendance in Toronto. Oh wait, a person just came back from the concession stand and sat in the 10th row seat 11. Its really 21,502 there.
Re: Perceived attendandance, week 22 am i a bad person because i cannot wait for this thread to devolve into total snark like the fine example above?
Re: Perceived attendandance, week 22 This describes me as well. If you feel bad about it, at least know you have company Oh and, I can't wait until we get our stadium downtown because I bet we'll be 3rd in attendance from that point on.
Re: Perceived attendandance, week 22 depends on the size the end up making it. if it is 22K like has been speculated i can definitely see you neck and neck with TFC for 3rd/4th behind only SSFC and VWFC (i am assuming here that Caps fans are right and they will end up opening the whole lower bowl of BC Place and their capacity will be 26K). LAG and RBNY could be in the same neck and neck fight if they sign another DP (Ronaldinho) and probably MON to boot. by 2012 you are going to likely have SSFC still at 35K, VAN at 25K and then RBNY, LAG, MON, HOU, MON, POR and TFC all in the 20-22K range. that will be a glorious season.
Re: Perceived attendandance, week 22 Translation: LOL @ FCD Better? And Ole, yeah you're right now that I think about it. Shocking that 20k/game may only be good enough for 6th-8th best in the league in a couple years time.
Re: Perceived attendandance, week 22 don't get too excited. there will still be plenty of empty seats in Colorado, Dallas, New England, DC and Columbus that we can count on TV to show how much MLS are a bunch of crummy liars and trying to lie to us and tell us that there are 9K people at the stadium when we can all clearly see there aren't more than 7K. see what i did there. got the thread back on topic. and people say i am only a troll ... pshaw.
Re: Perceived attendandance, week 22 While she's pregnant she counts as 5 angry/moody women...well she should.
Re: Perceived attendandance, week 22 You guys are easily led sheep, man. SHEEP! Oh, let's count attendance on TV, man. Cuz that'll be accurate. Like MLS doesn't just conspire with the networks to digitize in fake people to match its fake attendance numbers. If you want the real numbers you have to go to the game, man. With a clipboard and a calculator. And a gun. To make everybody sit in their seats so that they don't confuse you by going to the bathroom or the concessions stand. Fight the power.

Re: Perceived attendandance, week 22 What if I can't watch on T.V and watch on an internet stream. Can I still partake in this glorious thread?
Re: Perceived attendandance, week 22 No. Please partake in the: "E-Perceived attendandance, week 22" thread.
Re: Perceived attendandance, week 22 I hope not. If someone will do one of these every week, I can dump all the "SHOCKING EXPOSE: ATTENDANCE FIBBERY!!!!ONEONEONE" aka the I'm-Mark-Ziegler-Five-Years-Late posts in there.
Re: Perceived attendandance, week 22 You guys should send this to Henry. then he will understand why your in secure about your football. If MLS under reported butts in seats weekly you would be outraged an throw it out...talk about double standards...moving goalposts however it will make your "perceived MLS" look better Now your resorting to communist like message board policy to protect the agenda and claim the reported numbers are some sort of accurate figure becuase it has always been done that way. you make jokes about percieved attendance in 1996 when there are so many double headers that completely ruined the averages.. but since those help MLS look better..you keep them. you have had reports of 3-4K seats beign comped at games a few years ago..but that makes the numbers look better...why bother doing some real analysis..lets keep em! say whatever you want....there are many people here who think it is a joke...but wont say anything because of all of the infractions they would get like I did.. you guys trolled this thread..how many infractions did you get? where was the mod on that one? exactly. well I will make sure this week that I do my research with many MLS fans who will be willing to help me...get a accurate portrayal of the real mls attendance. I can find about 10-12 fans at each game that will share there knowledge of there stadium and how many people were really there. you guys went the tv route to make fun of this. thousands of times..posters said X amount of poeple were there I was there..and you took there word for it. I expect you to take your fellow MLS fans word on this.
Re: Perceived attendance, week 22 and that would be a great use of this thread. one person's real number is another person's perceived number. or is it the other way around? either way, you're well on your way to making these General "Perceived attendance threads" all they can be, week after week.
