Looking like another new record for the league this year. :yeah:

Then next year:
Chivas USA gone (dragging us down with 7K/game)
New York City FC in (already 10K season tickets, should have no problem getting over 20K/game minimum)
Orlando City SC in (and playing at the Orlando Citrus Bowl Stadium for their first year, should be a huge 1st game crowd)
San Jose Earthquakes out of Buck Shaw Stadium and into San Jose Earthquakes Stadium (likely named Avaya Stadium)

20K well within reach?

Looks like it. If Chivas can come back with a successful rebrand this league will really look good.

The league already has passed average NHL and NBA games but those leagues play 82 games. Hopefully the MLS can average 25k in a decade?, but I am reaching too far. 20k attendance next year will be sweet though..the Fire have to contribute as one of the biggest markets however.

Quite possibly, NBA didn't average jack shit until the late 80's or 90's IIRC.

Revs expecting over 30K for their last game, Seattle with a sellout or near sellout of the full 67,000 seat stadium will break the record again.

16,076 for the year. Good, but could be a lot better, can you imagine if we had 1, 2 or 3 REAL DP's. TOYOTA Park would be sold out every game, second consecutive year without a sell out (34 games and counting).

Seattle only got 57,673 (lol), their first year since they came into the league they didn't increase their attendance from the pervious year.

2009....30,897
2010....36,173 (+5,276)
2011....38,496 (+2,323)
2012....43,144 (+4,648)
2013....44,038 (+894)
2014....43,734 (-304)
2013...
