1. Seattle
2. Philly

[OmgUrMom]

wow that is impressive... whats a friendly? I'd assume just like an exhibition game?

[forsberg21]

Curious as to how much tickets were? For the Celtic vs. Man United game, the attendance was announced at 39,000 but tickets started at $90 for the nosebleeds.

[Dirty Sanchez]

I know the cheap seats at the Manchester United at Kansas City game (at Arrowhead) are going for $40 (cheap/nose bleeds) and they go from there. They've been advertising Wayne Rooney and he's still on Holiday somewhere in the Caribbean. Not sure what the local fan base will say when John O'Shea and Paul Scholes are the big names..lol

[Chi_archie]

nice turnout

[LostBankroll]

Seattle is a cool soccer city I must agree. Their fans are top notch even for MLS games they show up in full force. I think that DC has the best fans tho. La Barra Brava is live throughout the entire game at RFK.

[Otters27]

Toronto has good crowds and they are usually wild

[MJFtheGenius]

Sounders blow

[LostBankroll]

Seattle #1
DC United #1B

Crowd rank in MLS.

[Brock Landers]

no one cares about soccer here (USA)

[jjgold]

We got one here this summer

I think Brazil coming in

Will be 75,000

[milwaukee mike]

wow seattle can't even support an nba team but they get 45000 people for a game nobody cares about here?
what a screwed up city

[pavyracer]

If soccer was funded the same way NBA and MLB are and can bring in top talent they will sell out all games. Some of the MLS teams budgets are only a couple million dollars and they still get 30-40 thousands fans with practically nobodies playing for the teams.

[TWEETS]

Seattle loves their soccer

I love soccer and I wouldnt watch one of these friendly game if you paid me

[Shortstop]

The Celtics are still playing? The Sonics moved back to Seattle?

What the hell is going on here?

[Fishhead]

Can't wait for the MANCHESTER UNITED @ PHILLY UNION game Wednesday night on ESPN

Clearly not, they get there crowds and don't forget the Hispanic population in America. Soon it will be compulsory for all americans to speak Spanish.

Saying nobody in USA cares about soccer is silly, you are correct.

MAJOR LEAGUE SOCCER is going to only get more and more popular.........the PHILLY UNION franchise is a huge factor in this and will continue to be.

Their stadium in Chester is fabulous and the fans will soon be regarded as the best in the league or on par with Seattle.

Can't wait for the MANCHESTER UNITED @ PHILLY UNION game Wednesday night on ESPN

I got tickets!

Nice win for the UNION over the CELTIC last week..............good luck beating Manchester.

MLS would give the Scottish PL a run for its money, thats how bad the SPL is.

True, and as a fan of Scotland, this saddens me.
