Fact is
Most people think soccer is boring Most people think baseball is boring
One just happens to be more "American" than the other |

>Most people think baseball is boring
is that why in 2013 the MLB had a total attendance of 74,026,895 while the MLS had 6,005,991
the MLB averages 30,504 fans a game while the MLS averages 18,594

1. Each team in the MLB plays a 162 game season opposed to MLS teams playing a 34 game season. That means there are 4,860 games played in the MLB, while there are 646 games played in the MLS. So total attendance is not measurable at all and this was a really dumb point.
2. The average MLB stadium capacity is around 45,000 compared to MLS stadiums around 18,000-20,000. If you actually bother to look at it, the percentage of attendance is higher for MLS.
3. There are 30 MLB teams and 19 MLS teams |

1. You can't have a 162 game soccer season for obvious reasons. It's much more physically demanding than baseball where you stand around for most of the game, and players need a week to recover
2. Higher average already explained
3. No soccer league in the world will ever have 30 teams. MLS has the same amount of teams of pretty much every league in the world |

| At 19 years old, Major League Soccer is already light years ahead of what the Serie A and Ligue 1 were like at 19 years old. Serie A was in shambles and on the brink of bankruptcy. |
