i'm not tryna have a go at americans but i doubt they would watch a sport their country isn't involved in (i don't blame them). even the soccer world cup had low views over there and they made it to the quarter finals
Really? Well that's not what the figures say!!!
Just a few from Group A, the USA' group with Colombia, Switzerland and Romania
United States v Switzerland at the Pontiac Silverdome................73,475 (full house)
Colombia v Romania at the Pasadena Rose Bowl.........................93,586
United States v Colombia at the Pasadena Rose Bowl..................93,869
Switzerland v Colombia at the Stanford Stadium.........................83,401 (full house)
1994 FIFA World Cup in the USA
Total attendance.................3,587,538
Average attendance.............68,991 per match
Best attendance..................94,194
Worst Attendance...............44,132
this field looks very narrow to me...
Don't be fooled. The rows of seats either side of the out of bounds line are removable. Soccer has been played at this stadium, so it is wide enough.
The original Mile High Stadium was the home ground of the Colorado Rapids Major League Soccer team from 1996 to 2001, then in 2002 they moved to this new Invesco Field at Mile High (the one in the picture I posted earlier). In 2007, they moved DSG Park in Commerce City, Colorado.
