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
