^^^That is amazing and insane. That is obviously a market that could build a bigger stadium and still sell out.
In that article, there was a link to MLS attendance and how it has surpassed both NBA and NHL in terms of average attendance which shows how increasingly popular pro soccer is in NA.

Average attendance for the 18 clubs rose 7.2 percent to 17,872 spectators a game this season, surpassing the league’s previous record of 17,406, which was set during its inaugural season in 1996. The league’s lowest attendance came in 2000 when it averaged just 13,756 fans. Since 2007, its average has consistently stayed between 16,000 and 17,000. The strong showing at the gate brought MLS’s average above the most recent seasons for both the NHL (17,132) and NBA (17,323).
