RolStoppable said: Attendance levels are outpacing those of Austria. Fantastic! Although I have to say that the typical American franchise system takes out some of the fascination of the sport. If bad teams can phone it in without suffering any penalty, then that leads to a lack of fan interest and passion. |
Dude, what an achievement ^_^
As you surley know, there are 20 Professionell Clubs in Austria, along with over 2000 Non Prosessionell competitive clubs. All this in a Country smaller than NYC, populationwise. We had a friendly in 2013, Austria won this one (and we very barely win).
Below I just compiled a small list for 2013/14 attendance averages in europe. [Source]
