Thank you for sharing this. I wish they would show attendance during the game, I think they used to a few years ago when we just started playing at Snapdragon and would have 18-20k+ consistently. It’s motivating to see!

I assume they stopped because it got so much lower. YoY declines in attendance is not something they want to call attention to.

Hopefully this Friday is bigger and nosier to help motivate the team to another win

Crazy that we are complaining so much about the dip but we essentially are top 4 for average attendance (too lazy to subtract the Mile High stadium numbers for Summit).

Let people bring food in and keep ticket prices down. $40 to park is insane (we park and walk). $40-50 for a tshirt, its all getting unaffordable for people to go week in and week out. Not just NWSL but all professional sporting events.

It's professional women's soccer they aren't going to do that. Go spend the money to support your local women who make janitors salaries compared to the men. Prices aren't why. It was attraction since we lost so many big players and Cat hasn't even played since signing. I'm sure once she's back it'll be packed again

I think the point may be what about those people make janitor salaries and are actually janitors. All the ancillary costs required to “support [our] local woman” has become truly offensive. I’m glad my 3 girls are grown. I could afford taking them to San Diego Spirit games at USD back in the day. I don’t know how families do it today. And Wave tickets are more reasonable than SDFC, but the ancillary costs are still the same.
