Plenty of strong numbers posted on this final week off the season. San Antonio attracted 13,700 to two season-ending matches, Louisville City ended strong with a crowd of 9,104, while Reno drew 6,144 for its finale. All in all, several squads — Phoenix, OKC Energy, Pittsburgh and Charlotte in addition to the aforementioned teams — outdrew their season average. The per-game average of 4,300 is a huge jump over last year’s average reported attendance of 3,439, making 2017 USL attendance one of the great sporting stories of the season.
