Seattle is among the best teams in the league in recent years, even if MLS Cup has eluded them.  They are very popular averaging 40K at home matches, for reference the league average this year is 20-21K range.  This is a big match against Los Angeles so I estimate around 60-65K will be in attendance.

Holy shit, 40k average attendance is huge!!!


Indeed.  They are aided by having a huge stadium, but it is amazing how many people regularly show up in Seattle.  The good news for the league is many clubs in stadiums of 15-25K range are now seeing sell outs often so debate of expanding stadiums exists. 

Right now average attendence in 2015

1. Seattle - 42.7K
2. Orlando - 31.9K
3. New York City - 28.6K
4. Toronto - 24.2K
5. Los Angeles - 22.9K

Keep in mind as I said many club sell out (ex: Kansas City and Portland) their 17-20K stadiums so impossible for them to be in top five.
