Can Fox get viewers to watch MLS Cup?
By means of comparison, this year's Stanley Cup Final (six games) averaged 4.65 million viewers; the World Series (seven games) averaged 26.1 million viewers; and the Super Bowl averaged 111.8 million viewers.
And, by the way, the most-watched MLS Cup final in the past eight years was in 2009, when an average of 1.1 million viewers tuned in to see Real Salt Lake beat the L.A. Galaxy in a shoot-out. And the least watched? It was RSL's shootout loss to Sporting Kansas City in 2013 — an average of 500,000 viewers.
