My quest to compile attendance figures for the National Premier Soccer League is progressing verrrrrrrrrrrry slowly.

To date, I have about 20 percent of individual game attendance figures for the 2018 season (last year I was able to get about 35 percent of the data), and complete data for the 17 teams you see below. (Big thanks go out to those team personnel who were kind enough to take the time to answer my queries.)

Team G Total Average Median High Low Detroit City FC 6 33,502 5,584 5,548 6,128 5,077 Chattanooga FC 7 23,472 3,353 3,176 4,574 2,538 Asheville City SC 7 12,414 1,773 1,742 2,500 1,019 ASC San Diego 6 6,000 1,000 950 1,500 600 Kingston Stockade FC 5 3,638 728 725 1,014 372 FC Monmouth 5 2,098 420 449 457 321 Erie Commodores FC 6 2,430 405 380 720 150 Rhode Island Reds FC 5 1,995 399 400 550 300 Duluth FC 7 2,731 390 355 689 251 Minneapolis City SC 7 2,481 354 342 448 274 Georgia Revolution 7 2,357 337 311 549 182 Atlantic City FC 5 1,563 313 340 476 128 Temecula FC 6 1,623 271 287 316 210 Academica SC 7 1,346 192 175 245 150 Junior Lone Star FC 5 445 89 80 115 75 Greater Lowell NPSL FC 5 390 78 75 95 65 Dakota Fusion FC 7 525 75 60 125 50 THESE 17 TEAMS 103 99,010 961

I have nine other individual data points, but present only the clubs for which I have complete data. If your favorite team isn’t listed above, I either have nothing or almost nothing on them. If you work for one of the missing teams, I’d be grateful to get any data you have. (A few clubs not listed above have given me estimates ranging from a few hundred to 1,500 a game, and at least one other says they’re getting me data soon, but until I have all the individual game crowds, I’m not going to include them in the “official” table.)

Obviously, no one associated with the NPSL or its teams is obligated to provide me with anything, but the reason I’ve tried to do this is so we can have fact-based conversations about interest in lower-level soccer (and the prowess of individual front offices). Those would seem to be important conversations, especially now, but we can’t have them without more information.

If you have anything at all, and wouldn’t mind sending it to me, I’d be greatly appreciative.
