The league experienced a rise in total attendance thanks to the addition of FC Cincinnati, but 2019 saw a 3 percent decline from 2018 on a per-match average. Some of the decline is understandable (Minnesota United moving to a smaller venue represents a 1 percent dip on its own), and we expect other declines to be addressed in the offseason–and some, like the move of the Chicago Fire from SeatGeek Stadium to Soldier Field, are already underway.
