Attendance for MLS matches has always been closely looked at as it tries to rival that of the other major sports leagues in the United States. There is no doubt that there are some passionate MLS fan bases around the country. Soccer is starting to grow in America and the average attendance marks so far in 2016 reflect that.
The Seattle Sounders lead Major League Soccer with an average attendance of 42,230. Compare that to FC Dallas who ranks at the bottom of the league with an average of only 13,884. Orlando City SC, New York City FC, Toronto FC, and the LA Galaxy round out the top-five attendance marks this season.
