Here is our attempt at tallying the final 2017 NASL attendance numbers, but there are some holes in the figures as the league made adjustments to its game schedule after Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico.
Here is the 2017 NASL attendance to date:
Team | Average | Total | Matches | Week 31 | |
1 | Indy Eleven | 8,954 | 134,317 | 15 | 8,813 |
2 | Miami FC | 5,147 | 82,356 | 16 | 6,217 |
3 | New York Cosmos | 4,789 | 81,416 | 17 | |
4 | North Carolina FC | 4,489 | 67,334 | 15 | |
5 | Puerto Rico FC | 3,597 | 46,761 | 13 | 5,929* |
6 | FC Edmonton | 3,408 | 54,525 | 16 | |
7 | Jacksonville Armada | 3,035 | 48,562 | 16 | |
8 | San Francisco Deltas | 2,564 | 41,031 | 16 | 4,755 |
TOTALS | 4,486 | 556,302 | 124 | 25,714 | |
WEEKLY AVERAGE | 6,429 |
*Match played at MCU Park.
As noted, Puerto Rico’s home games were moved to the mainland after the devastation caused by Hurricane Maria, and not all those matches are accounted for in these final numbers. In addition, a San Francisco Deltas match at Boxer Stadium did not report attendance. If the NASL releases final attendance figures, we will update this list. Still, this was a healthy end to the season. The weekly average of 6,429 pushed the season per-game average to 4,486, not that far off the 2016 average attendance of 4,684.
