CINCINNATI – The game is still three days away, but FC Cincinnati President Jeff Berding revealed on Thursday morning to SiriusXM FC’s United States of Soccer that the club’s Eastern Conference Quarterfinal against the Charleston Battery at Nippert Stadium has surpassed 20,000 tickets sold, putting it on the verge of a USL postseason attendance record.

Orlando City SC holds the USL postseason attendance record, which was set at the 2013 USL Championship Game when 20,886 fans packed into the Florida Citrus Bowl to see the Lions take a 7-4 victory against the Charlotte Eagles. That attendance also stood as the USL all-time attendance record prior to this season, when Cincinnati surpassed it with its crowd of 23,375 on May 14 against the Pittsburgh Riverhounds.
