2017 NWSL Championship Game Will Shatter Attendance Record

The last two teams standing can witness the attendance feat at the 2017 NWSL Championship match. There, home team Orlando Pride frequently sets regular-season attendance marks.

Attendance already up

On a slow day, the Pride draws more to the 25,500-seat Orlando City Stadium than the 8,255 who attended the 2016 NWSL Championship in Houston. Championship attendance in Orlando will easily shatter the 13,264 mark set at the 2015 championship.

Certainly, visitors are welcome. But count on local soccer-hungry fans threatening to fill the Orlando bowl. NWSL Managing Director of Operations Amanda Duffy acknowledged this in her April 22 statement on the game.
