Week 7: MLS Attendance Target Tracker (2017)

Template for Wk8

How many tickets must be sold in the remaining games in order for teams' season averages to hit four key numbers:

  1. The club's average in 2016;
  2. sellout of listed capacity;
  3. 20,000 (a useful league benchmark); and
  4. a new club attendance record.

NOTES:

  • Row numbers are home games, not week numbers. Only MLS league games are tracked.
  • Numbers are not necessarily reflective of people through the gates. They are the number of tickets sold, which is the predominant reporting convention in MLS. (Don't like it? Write MLS' offices, not me!)
  • Capacities are defined by teams, not by the number of seats in venues. (This helps account for teams in NFL-compatible stadiums, while applying a consistent standard.)
  • HICAP: games to be played in larger-than-normal venues. (Once played, displayed as [Attendance].)
  • Bold: Sellout (of regular capacity)
  • 'Attendance*': Mid-week match
  • '####': Current week's matches
