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.

Honest to God, super surprised by those numbers, especially when comparing to the Premier League attendance:
