@alexandrecoli @AleMonteiroFla Bit surprising indeed, but were quite popular in previous years as well. Who knew!

[The Stadium Guide @stadiumguide]

@Fernando_cnc1 Yeah - shame they got off so badly at the new stadium. Crowds down a lot towards the end of the season.

Most striking about Brazil attendances is the volatility. Going up or down from one match to the next by 117% (EPL: 5% La Liga: 23%).

[The Stadium Guide @stadiumguide]

Flamengo by far the most popular away from home, followed by trio of Sao Paulo, Corinthians, and Botafogo.

[The Stadium Guide @stadiumguide]

Comparison with last year - in green the clubs that moved to new stadium (or reg used new stadium - Botafogo & Vasco)

[The Stadium Guide @stadiumguide]

Champions Cruzeiro at the new Mineirao come out on top, replacing Corinthians (now 3rd). Flamengo 2nd.
