@bradbellaver Great crowd for it being in Stuttgart. TV shows the side where the VIP people sit... that was not fully sold (400 eur tickets) and many people sit inside in the all inclusive are ;)
Vienna's game against Paris almost sold out. Frankfurt had to open all sections in the game against Bravos, 8k already sold, aiming for a 10k nearly sellout. Rhein also with good sales so far, expecting over 10k attendance.
Some strong figures expected in the last week of regular season!
Here are some updated attendance stats.
As expected, Berlin, Paris and Cologne with big drops (Berlin and Paris due to stadium issues, Cologne due to competitiveness).
Madrid Bravos with great improvements, now in the Top half of the ranking surpassing Munich Ravens!
Nordic Storm with very good numbers for Denmark.
Lets see if RheinFire, Galaxy and Vikings will keep their average above last years. For the 2 german teams it will be difficult but I would not rule it out.
Ravens, Panthers and Surge disappointing and concerning. All are missing their games in big stadiums, Stuttgart in my opinion weak on the gameday offering and marketing compared to the other Top German franchises.
I think overall still good numbers for this league and definitely opportunities to further grow attendance if the league stays with the right franchises.
Looks like the @MadridBravos are chasing another franchis attendance record for this saturday's game against the @FFM_Galaxy
Sales look very promising again!
Some good attendance numbers from the weekend already in:
Madrid 3340
Helvetic 2100
Stuttgart 3711
Berlin 628
Berlin obviously a problem as they are not really playing in a stadium but just a soccer field with some standing room.
Madrid with a new franchise record and Helvetic back to strong numbers after a down year in 2024.
I will report full numbers with comparrisons to prior years once the other teams also reported numbers.
