It has been mentioned that Atlanta United had higher attendance in our MLS Cup than the Super Bowl (u/LaddZilla). Here is a graph showing the NINE times ATL had a greater attendance than the Super Bowl in MBS. [OC]

The super bowl did sell out. I don’t know where you are getting your facts from but this game was sold out to max capacity for this event. One of the glaring differences that are not noted in attendance records are the amount of closed off portions for stadiums strictly for media members. So while we as Atlanta fans know that stadium can and has held more people. The amount of media coverage for the super bowl is far and away larger then MLS cup I watched the match and I loved the amount of people that were there. But if MLS were to get even close to the magnitude of the super bowl you would also see the same drop off in attendance as you see from this years Big Game
