Reply to comment by Strick1600 in Philadelphia has now lost 3 major finals in one athletic year (MLS, MLB, NFL) by ins1der

Has higher average attendance than both NHL and NBA. It's incredibly popular in its niche. There's nothing wrong with MLS, it's fun.

Aren’t tickets also incredibly cheap and often free?

not sure about free, but yes they are definitely cheaper, so thats a good point too.

im not a soccer hater or anything, but its just a really disingenuous argument to compare average attendance numbers as a good measure of popularity.

In Canada I know for a fact they’re free a lot through certain avenues. Same with the CFL. Obviously our sports landscape is quite a bit different with NHL being by far #1

Keep telling yourself that, bud. Or you could come to a game & have even more sports to watch.
