MLS saw a slight dropoff between 2012 to 2013 of about 1.1%. The WC will probably provide a boost but even so, avg MLS attendance is around 19k (being generous and rounding up) while the NFL still averages over 60K(being stingy and rounding down). As for college ball, in 2012, 48,958,547 fans attended college football games at all 644 NCAA schools, including one conference topping seven million fans for the first time ever. This attendance marks the third-highest total in history and includes home games, neutral-site games and postseason contests. I don't see how the MLS can help boost attendance when college football already dwarfs MLS almost 2.5 to 1. What I got from that article is that Sports Innovation seems to have some great ideas, and that UF panicked when the students stopped showing up because they suck. If UF wants to learn how to the the students back, they could start by not losing to Georgia Southern. Also this: Sporting KC pays for their fans to attend road games. Ummmmmm what?!?!?!?! I'm willing to bet you could sell alot more SU season tickets too if you got free tix to road games but if you think SU is going to start ponying up to send people to Clemson then you're insane.
