    It should be called a Real Compiler. Because it just compiles real search results and puts out a summary that may or may not be accurate. Grok comes with added racism.

    The rivalry week bump is there but it isn't all that large.

    Nice job New England.

    Most of the rivalry games so far were sellouts, no?

    Probably the smallest travelling contingent from Salt Lake we've had at the Dick, at least for a Saturday match.

    The only unusual sellout was in Portland? And a bumper crowd in New England but I didn't even know they have a rivalry with San Jose...

    Not every game this week is a rivalry game. Nashville v DC United, Austin v Vancouver for instance.

    Well, San Jose is coached by the guy who preceded Caleb Porter for the Revs. During the NYCFC vs. NYRB match, the announcers said Citi Field (where this match was played) was considered to have better sight lines for fans in attendance. The 30k+ drawn for that one was more than what NYCFC usually draw at Yankee Stadium when they play the Red Bulls (from what I remember; I could be wrong).

    I asked Grok to find me the top 10 attendance for this matchup. Its having trouble finding the data, but lets see what it comes up with (I am looking at its deep research "thinking" stream") It found a list of all the Hudson River Derby matches but was unable to parse the page. Now its going through every match report ever on ESPN. This will take a while. Yeah that took too long and it gave up. Tried the same with mlssoccer.com and also gave up. Its now trying wikipedia. Thoughts feed is complaining that its easier to find information on goals than attendance. And it finished! Wikipedia is the source. It browsed every New York Red Bulls season page and filtered out the derby matches, then made a top 10.

    And thus I have learned that yesterday's match is the 5th highest attended New York Derby ever, and the only one from Citi field to have made this list. The record was 48k in 2015 and nothing came close since, with the 2nd highest being 37k in 2016. All matches in the top 10 have been at Yankee Stadium except the one from Citi field. A derby would need 28,895 to make the top 10, so no matches at Red Bull Arena have a chance.

    For that galaxy number: that's about as full as the place every looks on TV without people in the grass. New all seated sellout number?

    Yeah but pretty sure that's a sellout now for games they don't open the berm for.

    Also not including open cup.

    There were a lot of public order disturbances before and after the first derby. I suspect a lot of Red Bulls fans have decided is it's not worth the trouble and the away seat allocation has been strictly limited.
