I went to a Roughnecks game last night for the first time in over a decade. I was shocked to learn they pull ~12,000 fans. Buffalo gets something like ~18,000. This is during hockey season, competing for eyes with the Flames.
How does soccer only pull ~4,000? Is it just because this isn't a "top tier" league and people are fans of the game but not interested in this level? I still don't get how this game won't take off in this country.
