I'm sure these guys are happy to spend 9 months of the year traveling across the country just for personal pride.
I looked for teams in other leagues with low attendances compared to capacity. In their one home match this season Paris FC got an attendance of 608 in their 20,000 seat stadium. Casa Pia in the Portuguese Primeira, Cercle Brugge in the Belgian Pro, Central Cordova in the Argentine Pro and Cuiabá Esporte Clube in the Brazilian Serie A all average between 15 and 16% of capacity. In the Turkish Sūper Lig, Başakşehir are averaging 1,740 in a 17,156 capacity stadium (10.1%), Hatayspor are seating 2,606 in a 25,000 seat stadium (10.4%) and Gaziantep fill just 12.6% of their 30,230 seat stadium. Of course Queens Park were notorious for averaging about 150 at Hampden Park, which at one point held over 100,000 fans, but admittedly until very recently they did compete in the Scottish professional leagues as a purely amateur team.
Nick Markanich sets USL Championship single-season scoring record Markanich is now up to 27 goals with 4 regular season matches (3 home) remaining.
The new stadium in Lexington is gorgeous. Do yourselves a favor and watch either a USL1 or USLS match from there this fall.
======= No, I am feeling fine thank you. After watching a lot of soccer in the last 45 years, have seen a lot of good and bad and you won't be able to convince me (even if the players are PAID professionals). Atmosphere and appearance matters, not just in soccer, but in many other businesses and such in life. And I would hazard to guess, even the players would rather play in a better atmosphere.
Northern Colorado wins 5-4 in penalties to be the first ever USL Jagermeister Cup champions. They packed 3550 people into their 2500 seat stadium.
------ That is a much better presentation of the game even if 3rd division....an overflowing stadium with PK drama.
