Usually I present soccer attendance numbers by leagues, but, just for fun this time around, let’s look at every professional team and see where they stack up against each other, one through seventy .

CAVEAT: These are announced figures. If you find a discrepancy, let me know about it. I don’t have numbers for the NPSL or the PDL, because ( a ) they’re not professional leagues, ( b ) the NPSL is woefully inadequate when it comes to announcing attendance figures and ( c ) whereas it was fairly easy (or at least, much easier) to get PDL numbers, the recently redesigned PDL website contains almost none of that information on a game-by-game basis . I also don’t have numbers for the ASL, the UPSL or any other would-be or tries-to-be league because they’re even worse than the NPSL. If you support a team in one of those leagues and want to see where it would stack up if it were on this list, by all means, let me know about it in the comments. Some USL figures are missing (though not as many as there were before, thank you for those who have contributed missing data points), and are denoted with an *asterisk. Lastly, these are regular season league numbers only and do not include any friendlies or Open Cup matches (just for consistency’s sake).

So, without further ado, here are the rankings, 1-70:
