Good! The mentality must be a huge thing. No negativity like you say. I've heard that a lot when Swedes talk positively about the USA. Both are going to Jacksonville. Do you know how popular NASL is? |
MLS sides average 21K, NASL is around 7K, and USL is 5K. Obviously some sides are bigger than others so could play in front of 15K or 2K depending. Looking at Jacksonville Armada Football Club they play in an 11K capacity stadium and have solid support, but looking at the table are struggling near the bottom this year.
Football is growing every year, just twenty years ago the top flight was founded and struggling. Now we have three tiers that are fairly stable with far more clubs across the country than even a decade ago. I'd say right now NASL and USL have varying impact on their cities depending on other sporting competition and size of the city. If I had to guess vast majority of folks won't recognize players walking around.
Also, not surprised they are interested in Florida. Seems like Europeans like the Sunshine State.
