In soccer, the fans are everything. No matter where you view the game, that rings true. However, Major League Soccer’s fan base is expanding especially quickly as the quality of the matches gets better. When Charlotte FC hosted its first-ever home game against the LA Galaxy earlier this season, 73,019 spectators broke the MLS single-match attendance record.
While teams like Atlanta United and Seattle Sounders frequently fill massive venues, Nashville SC recently relocated into GEODIS Park, the biggest stadium in the country built specifically for soccer. Let’s look at which teams are bringing in the most spectators this year and which ones need to start doing so.
