According to the article, Toronto was 5th in attendance, and Vancouver 11th in a league of 24 teams. So relative to everyone elsewhere, their attendance figures appears good for MLS.
Whereas for the
2019 CFL attendance based off this page, Toronto was the worst with 12,493 average, and BC was 3rd worst with 17,803. (Montreal was 2nd worst, 17,574). League average amongst the other 6 teams that would be 'smaller market' was 26,396.
So in relativity, Toronto and Vancouver are more supportive of MLS than CFL based on 2019 numbers. It's incredibly simplistic since it doesn't take into team strength and overall numbers over several seasons.
