Two of the recent MLS expansion clubs have started making waves with their average attendance figures.
Average Attendance:
Seattle Sounders FC: 29,715.00 Seattle Mariners: 27,137.97
Toronto FC: 20,288.10 Toronto Blue Jays: 22,839.93
Sure it's only two cities, but for a league in it's infancy and all of the people that feel like they have to argue with soccer fans about why their sport is better, this can't be good.

If they went to Miami and averaged about 63 I think they would trump the Marlins. Oh and I bet the United average more than the Nationals.

Wait a second Feller. Didn't you just come on here trying to legitimize soccer in the US by arguing that attendance figures are better in two cities (one of the two is a Canadian city I might add)? Seems more like soccer fans trying to legitimize their own sport rather than fans of other sports arguing that soccer is not as good. We only get pulled in when soccer fans start the argument.

How does Miami (of all places) NOT have an MLS team?

How does Miami (of all places) NOT have an MLS team? They did but it folded. They weren't winning, and Miami fans only show up for sports other than football if the teams are winning.
