FINAL Rowdies Home Attendance Tracker – Game 17 vs. Indy Eleven [10/12]
It was a really good crowd on Saturday (7,851)...weather was perfect.
All-in-all we finish the season down 6.3% from last year and our lowest in the last five. Generally, we've been in the same neighborhood since 2015, but a loss of about 400 people per game is noticeable.
We know there's a lot riding on next year with new prices, the new supporters section, a new ticket platform, and hopefully a renewed marketing campaign. I think they'll also be able to create new specials now that STH will be well taken care of.
Here's hoping.
ATH attendance?? I had to go at half-time and there were still people on their way in. I definitely figured close to 7 but close to 8 sounds high. Pretty cool though!

TAMPA, WE HAVE A PROBLEM (OR TWO, OR THREE)
If the league is hoping to take the next steps in growth, they need to find a way to improve their product on ESPN. Week in and week out, there are mistakes that would just not be acceptable in the NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL, or even MLS. I get it: it’s easy to mess up the pronunciation of a name. I’ve done it on our podcast, but I don’t get paid to say the names and I fix it. I complain when I feel the refs do a bad job, but we are a fan blog and podcast, not a professional broadcast team. These things (along with the many other mistakes on the broadcasts) need to be addressed in the off-season for the league to be taken more seriously.

MLS gate drops for 2nd straight year despite record expansion fees, franchise values
Professional soccer and esports collide
New York Red Bulls professional e-Sports athlete Michael LaBelle discusses his partnership.
Major League Soccer’s game attendance declined for the second consecutive year this season, even as the league’s expansion fees and franchise values reached record heights.
An average of 21,330 fans attended MLS games in 2019, down 2.5 percent from an average crowd of 21,873 fans in 2018. Game attendance had hit a record high in 2017 with an average of 22,106 fans.

The decline occurred even as total attendance rose slightly to 8,694,584, due in part to the debut of the expansion FC Cincinnati.
The decline was partially attributable to venue changes, such as Minnesota United’s move to a new stadium with less seating capacity, as well as weather that impacted start times. While average attendance declined, the league posted more games of over 25,000 attendees than it did in 2018, as well as incresed ticket revenue due to slightly higher ticket prices.
Front Office Sports was first to report on 2019 MLS attendance figures.
While MLS does not disclose its annual revenue, the league has pursued rapid expansion in recent years, adding a number of new franchises. The league extracted a record $200 million expansion fee from a St. Louis ownership group to launch its 28th franchise, which is set to begin play in 2022. The eventual owners of the league’s 29th franchise are also expected to pay a $200 million fee.

The average MLS franchise was worth $240 million as of November 2018, according to Forbes, up more than seven percent from the previous year and up 30 percent from 2016. The once-fledging league has a broadcast rights deal valued at $90 million annually and has attracted major corporate sponsors, including a new partnership last month with sports drink firm BodyArmor.
Steve Ryan, former commissioner of the now-defunct Major League Indoor Soccer, told FOX Business in August that the record expansion fee could soon seem like a bargain, given the league’s new revenue streams.
“I think it will continue to go up, and the reason for it is that there’s really a small number of teams around North America,” Ryan said. “In order to get into the ‘club,’ the demand is outstripping the supply now, and that’s going to force the prices to continue to go up, as it has in all of sports. The valuations on teams have, over the last four of five years, incredibly accelerated. One of the beneficiaries has been Major League Soccer.”

While attendance dropped, MLS posted increases in average game viewership of 2 percent on ESPN platforms and 5 percent on FS1, according to the report, while the league’s impressions on social media platforms rose 38 percent to 2.2 billion.
