No, I didn't know that.
I still think you're wrong. I guess we will have to agree to disagree.

Okay. For the record, I think that either way you cut it, it's pretty obvious that there are a LOT of soccer fans in KC. Certainly much more than most people anticipated. The fact that 52,424 were actually at the game is quite a statement.

I never argued any of that. To be honest, I expected they would get >60K (still think they would have if it had been a Saturday evening game). There are obviously many fans in the KC area.

If by chance Kansas City were to host a USA v. Mexico World Cup Qualifier they could sell Arrowhead out and would have a chance to break the all time attendance record at Arrrowhead(if thats even possible after renovations).

Football fans shouldn't be threaten that there are a couple of events that could potentially outdraw the Chiefs at Arrowhead. These events are all pretty special occasions and soccer in KC will never consistently draw as good as numbers as the Chiefs.

Is this a joke because I am not getting it? Soccer will NEVER routinely outdraw the Chiefs that is why they are moving to a small stadium that holds less than 20,000 for soccer. Heck I don't think soccer could outdraw the Royals on a consistent basis.

I think a lot has to do with people traveling from nearby states to see Man U. Its rediculous the following that club has.

I never said on a regular basis. Hell, the stadiums in Britain don't even hold as many as the NFL stadiums do here.
